    Edinburgh Castle is also the home of the One O'Clock Gun. This is fired every day except Sunday at precisely 1.00pm to provide everyone with an accurate check for their clocks and watches. It will certainly startle you if you are anywhere near the Castle at that moment!
    Not this one unfortunately...:-)

    Every day (except Sunday) the One O'clock gun is fired from the castle. It was originally done so that the ships on the Firth of Fourth could check and reset their chronometers but today is mainly a tourist attraction... but I guess a lot of people will use it to check thier own watches.

    This small museum tells us about the history of The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.
    Interesting place to visit...
