Bonnie Prince Charlie was a rebel prince renowned for his good looks - but a groundbreaking reconstruction of his face may suggest otherwise.

Charles Edward Stuart's failed attempt to restore his father to the throne led to one of the most romanticised periods of Scottish history. He died in Palazzo Muti in Rome, at the age of 67, after suffering a stroke. After his death, a cast of the prince's face was taken, which was common for famous people at the time.
"We don't tend to think about the age of people when we study history, but Prince Charlie was just 24 years old when he landed in Scotland and to visualise how young he was at this pivotal moment in history is fascinating."Hopefully this recreation encourages people to think about him as a person, instead of just a legend."There are many accounts of him but having a face to look at helps us to view him as a human and not just a name from history.
