Archaeologists hunt for the lost graves of Joan Beaufort and Margaret Tudor

“It’s like ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Outlander’ all rolled into one—except this story is real,” said Paul Wilson, who is leading the digital visualisation project. “That day changed Scotland forever.”

King James was buried in a Carthusian priory called the Charterhouse, which has completely disappeared but is still marked by a monument. Joan Beaufort and Margaret Tudor, both Queen of Scots, were also buried there. Archaeologic digs are planned over a two-year period to map out its boundaries and to recover artefacts.
