The Old Fox?

In 1747, Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat was beheaded for his part in the Jacobite uprising. He was then buried at the Tower of London.
Or was he.....
His family and clan have maintained that his body was snuck away and is actually buried in the Wardlaw Mausoleum. In October 2017, Professor Dame Sue Black examined the remains that are claimed to be his. Her findings are to be announced tonight, in a blaze of publicity and television cameras. Lovat is an important character in insulting shitfest Outlander, so there's a lot of interest from twats. Speaking of twats, Dan Fucking Snow is firmly embedded in all of this too of course. I've seen the coffin in the mausoleum (14 miles from my house), which I visited last year, and have an interest in this. Plus, of course, he's an important and interesting actual real historical character - and I'd love the old story about his body being moved to be true. I sort of know Sue Black, through her involvement with Rosemarkie Man, but she ain't giving anything away until tonight. I'll be there, in a packed out event in Inverness to hear what she has to say. Either way, there's going to be a media circus around it all and it will be all over the Scottish news tomorrow.
