The first in a series of reports from the Edinburgh Fringe.

At 1 pm, a cannon is fired every day (except Sunday) from Edinburgh Castle:

Last Wednesday, we stood in the shadow of the castle to hear this momentous event take place.

    You would have been more likely to hear the cannon if you were on the Princes Street side of the castle!

    Incidentally, you are standing directly in front of the entrance to the apartment building in which I stayed last summer (Grassmarket No. 1).

    What are the chances of that happening? That is a great location for a holiday apartment.

    Indeed, it is! Conveniently located with beautiful views of the castle...

    Did the cannon ever go off?

    Tallulah's theory is that the gun can be heard more clearly on the opposite side of the castle. I didn't hear the one o'clock gun on any of the five days I was in Edinburgh.

    The one o' clock gun fires from the opposite side of the castle, over Princes Street, and in the general direction of Leith.

    In this clip, SteveR was standing BEHIND the gun (which may explain why he never heard it). I will post my own clip of the one o'clock gun (and it's resounding report) soon.
