The explanation for the One O'Clock gun is incorrect or incomplete because the ships in the harbours couldnt hear it. The Nelson Monument on Calton Hill has a black ball atop it which rises up a pole just before the gun goes off; when the gun fires the ball drops and ships in the harbours having their spyglasses trained on it know the exact time is 1pm.

I grew up in Leith Edinburgh, back in 81 I was dating a nurse who worked in the Royale infirmary. Her flat was at Greyfriers and her bedroom window is one that was in the video. I never once stayed overnight Not even on a promise.

The "burgh" or Edinburgh is pronounced "buh-ruh", not "bruh". Look up Burgh on Wikipedia.

Great to see the extraordinary history of our great city. But as for the parliament building, a catastrophic waste of money, foisted upon us by Donald Dewer for his “greater glory”. He could not have possibly been unaware of the huge over cost the building would incur. Holyrood Palace would have done the job, or a modest version of that Spaniard’s design.

This island was origionaly called Albion. What is now Scotland was called Alba and still is by Scots. Just because a foreign country decides something is nothing to do with what Scots call ourselves.
