3D Imaging Reconstructs the Face of Robert the Bruce

Facial reconstruction experts with Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) recently completed a two-year project in collaboration with Glasgow University, and have released 3D digital images of Scottish king Robert the Bruce, who was descended from Anglo-Norman nobles and Scottish aristocrats and beat the English at Bannockburn in 1314. The reconstructions were based on a cast of Robert the Bruce's skull, which was held at the Hunterian Museum; historians say the skull was recovered, along with his skeleton, in the early 1800s from Dunfermline Abbey, and later re-interred. Thanks to 3D scanning and printing, we are now actually able to see digital images of the great warrior, which depict him as a powerful, muscular man with large, broad features.
