Forensic analysis of 14 bodies found beneath a car park in Edinburgh 40 years ago revealed they were 'well-connected' individuals who travelled to the city - during the Dark Ages.
The bodies of nine adults and five children were discovered in Cramond, Edinburgh, in 1975 and were originally thought to be from the 14th century.
But radiocarbon dating found them to be 800 years older, dating back to the 6th century.
