Bones from the Middle Ages found in street

-

Skulls and leg and arm bones from the Middle Ages have been uncovered in a Highlands town.

The human remains and the foundation­s of what is believed to be a chapel were discovered during work to lay new water pipes in Kingussie’s Mill Road. It is believed the finds are linked to a pre16th century Carmelite friary. Archaeolog­ist Steven Birch said the “jumbled mass of bones” may have been moved.
