Researchers say they have created the "most lifelike" reconstruction of the face of Bonnie Prince Charlie.
A team at the University of Dundee's Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification used death masks to recreate the Scottish prince's looks.
After his death in 1788, a cast of the prince's face was taken, which was common for notable figures at the time.
This was painstakingly photographed and mapped along with software allowing the experts to "de-age" the prince.
Charles Edward Stuart was renowned for his good looks and has captivated a new generation of audiences through the TV show Outlander.

..."The face of Bonnie Prince Charlie has been recreated using death masks that depict him as he would have looked during the Jacobite rising of 1745.
The prince, who was renowned for his good looks, has captivated a new generation of interest through the TV show Outlander.
A team at the University of Dundee’s Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification has produced what is said to be the most lifelike replica of the prince’s face so far.
It shows him with blond ringlets, wearing a white shirt, and with blotchy patches on his skin, as he would have looked at the time of the Jacobite rising – his unsuccessful attempt to restore his father, James Francis Edward Stuart, to the British throne.
Death masks of the prince were photographed and mapped by researchers, so 3D models could be produced with state-of-the-art software, allowing experts to de-age the prince."...
