I can't tell, really. TC might tell you ;)

[hobbes]

How drunk were you? All of the video footage is out of focus as are the pictures.

Look at image 4, the handrail in the foreground is in perfect focus, the town in the backround is fuzzy. All of the pictures display this way.

WTF? I would have liked to see the town. Just for fun, you should have fired one of the cannons.

[Spider_dude]

i wasn't drunk it is just really hard to use my camera to take picturesit has one of those view finder thingys and doesnt have an actual eye piece to look through so i had to just basically judge when it was right.

Well, the handrail looks spectacular.

I wasn't trying to be rude, just wondering if the pictures were really blurry or my hangover was worse than I thought.

[Pete Waterman]

no offence taken quite the opposite, constructive critisism is always welcome. the handrail you speak of is infact a cannon.

in 1513, James IV invaded England in the campaign which led to the disaster of Flodden. Armed with the cannon known as &#39;Mon’s Meg&#39; (now on permanent display at Edinburgh Castle), Norham was soon in ruins. Mon&#39;s Meg was just too much for Norham, or any other castle, to withstand.

The advent of heavy artillery such as Mon’s Meg saw a radical change in the use of castles across England, Wales and Scotland. It became evident that the once mighty structures were finally succumbed. Cannon like these were able to smash through walls and roofs with huge cannonballs never seen before. Mon’s Meg weighed in at over 6 tonnes and was able to launch cannonballs weighing up to 330 lbs (150kg).

[4th gen]

Mon&#39;s Meg fires cannonballs for around 2 miles, so I&#39;ve heard

[DynastyIain]

Yes it must have given those invaders quite the headache when those 330lb rocks hit them.

I used to live in Edinburgh years ago, and the castle and Mons Meg were very impressive to see.

[Pete Waterman]

yeah i saw mons meg, it was impressive.
