Recreating the face of Bonnie Prince Charlie
A model of the face of Bonnie Prince Charlie had been created using hundreds of images taken from death masks.
A team at the University of Dundee's Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification used the masks to recreate the Scottish prince's looks.
After his death in 1788, a cast of the prince's face was taken, which was common for notable figures at the time.
This was painstakingly photographed and mapped along with software allowing the experts to "de-age" the prince to the year 1745, the time of the Jacobite rising.
