Join the crowd of onlookers outside Edinburgh Castle, awaiting a gunshot at exactly 13:00
On the territory of Edinburgh Castle, there is a One O'Clock Gun, and at exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, this artillery gun fires a shot. The event attracts many tourists every day except Sundays, Good Friday, and Christmas. This tradition has existed since 1861 and was intended to help ships passing through Leith Harbor and Firth of Forth to adjust their clocks.
