The face of Robert the Bruce:
King Robert the Bruce has passed into a legend as the victor of Bannockburn in 1314 and the king of Scotland who united the country and drove out the English invaders. There are many noble statues of Robert the Bruce. But is this what he really looked like? A forensic scientist takes a plaster cast that was made of Bruce's skull and builds an accurate head of Robert the Bruce complete with axe scar on the skull and possible leprosy scars. He was not a noble knight but a battle-hardened fighter who led from the front.
