Haunting images of a 14th century medieval Scottish woman has been released ahead of this year’s Whithorn Lecture at the Wigtown Book Festival in Southwest Scotland this Friday.
Further images and animations will be revealed at the Lecture on Friday. The digital reconstructions will reveal what Bishop Walter of Whithorn who died in 1235, an unknown clergyman with a cleft palate and a woman in her twenties buried on a bed of sea shells may have looked like in life.
Julia Muir Watt, the trust’s Development Manager, said: “The chance to see and imagine that we can hear these three people from so many centuries ago is a remarkable way to help us understand our history and ancestry.
