Episode Details

Scientists are hunting for the lost tomb of King James I of Scotland, murdered in 1437 and buried beneath the ruins of The Charterhouse monastery—destroyed centuries ago. Using cutting-edge ground-penetrating radar and traditional archaeology, they’ve scanned a sprawling urban area in Perth, zeroing in near King Street and Charterhouse Lane, where they believe the historic entrance once stood. This isn’t just a medieval cold case—it’s a potential goldmine for tourism and city pride, echoing the global buzz sparked by Richard III’s discovery. With a week-long dig set to begin, researchers hope to unearth walls or pottery that could rewrite Perth’s royal history—and maybe even uncover the final resting place of James I, his wife, and Margaret Tudor.
