Whose buried in the Old Foxes tomb?

October 9, 2017 By Adrienne Witzel

Forensic anthropology is reaching through the ages to help solve the mystery of the Old Fox, who was beheaded for treason over 270 years ago.  A team of Scottish forensic anthropologists will exhume the remains found in the tomb historically identified as belonging Simon Fraser, the 11th Lord Lovat, in order to determine the identify of the person buried at Wardlaw Mausoleum.  Reach more from the Inverness Courier and the Wardlaw Mausoleum
