Continuing in the tradition, this is an image of the modern day One O'clock Guns. The firing of the guns at one o'clock every day started as a means of giving the sailing ships in Leith harbour an accurate time check to assist them their navigation. In the days of satellite navigation and accurate chronometers, the tradition has continued as a popular tourist attraction. This particular firing of the guns was for a special occassion (which I can't remember), and was accompanied by a man playing the traditional bag pipes. It was a scene to say the least.
