Noble Friends, Especially Fellow Scots:

It's here! The computer-reconstructed face of Robert the Bruce has been 
revealed: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-38242781

The comments about leprosy are interesting. He might really have 
suffered from leprosy, but a lot of less serious skin diseases were 
lumped together under the catch-all name, including plaque psoriasis and 
scrofula. Nobody knew the difference, and nobody wanted to take chances.

Yours Aye,


Lord Mungo Napier, Whose Ancestors Fought Beside the Bruce
