The mysterious skeleton was uncovered along with nine other people's remains underneath a chapel at Stirling Castle in 1997.
It is not known whether the man, who was killed during Scotland's Wars of Independence, is English, Scottish or even French, due to the fact the castle changed hands several times.But a team at Dundee University have used state-of-the-art techniques to construct a computer image of what he may have looked like, and hope to be able to uncover more details about his origins.
