The LJMU Face Lab Created an Accurate Image of Robert the Bruce
Researchers from the LJMU Face Lab (a CGI and biology team working at Liverpool John Moores University) have created what they believe to be an accurate picture of a Scotsman -- but not just any Scotsman. The researchers have created a digital image of the face of Robert the Bruce based on a cast of the historical figure's skull.
Robert the Bruce was the King of Scots in the early 14th century, a legendary warrior and leader who fought to establish Scotland's independence from England. LJMU Face Lab's CGI of the ancient King's face is based on a scanning of his skull. In the early 20th century, historian's exhumed Robert the Bruce and took a cast of his skull. Using this cast, today's researchers were able to recreate the soft tissue that composed it.
