@WolfmannotJack @WhatKatieDigs Thank you, and you! 😊

@MariaMMaclennan @WhatKatieDigs It’s a pleasure to meet you.

Wonderful to be here at the opening of the Edinburgh’s first burgher’s exhibition. Part of the Edinburgh 900 celebrations, the exhibition runs until November at St Giles’ Cathedral and features DNA, facial reconstructions and our isotopic insights! @EdinCulture @HistEnvScot

@WhatKatieDigs @WolfmannotJack You too, Kate! Hope to see you again before too long!

@MariaMMaclennan @WolfmannotJack Was lovely to meet you at St Giles’ @MariaMMaclennan and great to see your work!

Is this what one of the first 'Edinburghers' could have looked like? To mark both Edinburgh and St Giles' Cathedral's 900th anniversaries, a new exhibition will delve into the lives of the city's medieval citizens edinburgh.gov.uk/news/article/1… @EdinburghUni @dundeeuni @aberdeenuni

An incredible multidisciplinary project on forensic jewellery, on the belongings of yet-to-be-identified migrants who lost their lives between Türkiye and Greece. That kind of humanitarianism that does matter. #mediterraneancrossings #forensicjewellery youtube.com/watch?v=v73gYl…

As part of our Edinburgh 900 programme there’s a special exhibition at St Giles’ Cathedral on the ‘First Burghers’ exploring the lives of people in the medieval period. It was fantastic to open the exhibition which is free and runs until 30 November .

@WolfmannotJack @WhatKatieDigs Hello! I did the facial reconstructions - I’m based at Edinburgh University, but I’ve been working with Dr Tobias Houlton at Dundee! :)

@WhatKatieDigs Who at Dundee? Have they got a new specialist, or have Caroline and/or Chris done this work before they left?
