hey rob justice, nice to bump into another countryman ! i'm from falkirk.been here in ontario about 10 years,but still like to go back to my roots ! tres gallus
i'm sure you already know this, but the canon (mons meg} was constructed to lay siege to london. they literally dragged the canon 400 miles, to the outside of the tower of london, and when they went to fire it, it blew apart !!! you can see where it burst open in the pic. as if that was'nt enough, they dragged it all the way back to scotland, to repair it. it never fired again! i cant imagine hauling that amount of iron, up and down hills, and with no roads either.
regards, bob.
