Trace the remains of King James IV

The recent discovery of the body of Richard III and the subsequent interest in history it has engendered leads me to question why there has been no attempt made to locate the remains of Scotland's lost king, James IV.

September 9 this year marks the 500th anniversary of his death on the field at Flodden, and while efforts are being made to mark the event, there seems little or no wish to find the man himself.
