Stolen Leonardo da Vinci Masterpiece Back on Display

A painting by Leonardo da Vinci has gone back on display in Scotland six years after it was stolen.
The Madonna with the Yarnwinder was taken from the Duke of Buccleuch's home at Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfriesshire in August 2003.
It was recovered in Glasgow in 2007 and has now been loaned to the National Gallery of Scotland in Edinburgh where it has been put back on display.
Eight men have been charged in connection with the theft.
The artwork has an estimated value of £30m and is the only Leonardo painting in Scotland. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/8417859.stm
