One o’clock gun fire, Edinburgh, Scotland, Uk
Since 2001 the gun in question is a L118 Light Gun, which is fired from the north face of Edinburgh Castle. However, the firing of the gun started in 1861 as a time signal for ship’s captains to set their chronometers in Leith Harbour 2 miles away.
Although the gun is no longer required as a time signal, the ceremony has become a popular tourist attraction.
