What happened to the Scottish soldiers found in a mass grave beneath Durham Cathedral? A new exhibition reveals their story

When the remains of a group of skeletons were unearthed in two mass burial sites in Durham city centre in 2013, it offered a stark reminder of one of the most brutal and bloody battles of the 17th Century Civil Wars.

It also left archaeologists with a jigsaw puzzle of evidence to assemble in order to identify the slain warriors whose bodies had lain undiscovered for nearly four centuries.
