The face of one of the 17th-century Scottish soldiers who was imprisoned and died in Durham following the battle of Dunbar in 1650 has been revealed through a new digital reconstruction.
The images and video, released by Durham University, have been created from the skull of one of the skeletons, found in Durham in November 2013.
The soldier is depicted wearing the blue bonnet, brown jacket and shirt typical of Scottish soldiers of the time.
The reconstruction is based on the skull of a male, known only to the project team as ‘Skeleton 22’. Analysis of Skeleton 22, led by experts at Durham University, had previously revealed that he was aged between eighteen and 25 when he died, had suffered periods of poor nutrition during childhood and lived in south west Scotland during the 1630s.
