How wonderful. I enjoyed the biography of Princess Alice by Vickers. It would be incredible to be able to see her tomb in the church. She greatly admired the religious devotion of her aunts, Empress Alexandra and Grand Duchess Elizabeth.

Search for the remains of James I of Scotland?

James I of Scotland and his queen were buried at Scotland's only Carthusian Priory in Perth,it was known as the Charterhouse.It was founded in 1429 by King James I,he was buried there in 1437 and his queen,Joan Beaufort was interred in 1445.Margaret Tudor,widow of James IV was buried here in 1541.

Not sure that a dig (if there is to be one) would find anything,the Perth Charterhouse was attacked and destroyed by the Reformers in 1559,most of the royal remains were burnt including Margaret Tudor's .

Richard III story could inspire Perth to find its own royal remains - Perth & Kinross / Local / News / The Courier
