Edinburgh, part Two.

Thanks to Skry's comment on my last entry, I feel I should add these photos.

We went to Edinburgh Castle in time to watch them shoot the cannon at 1pm. I was able to get a good photo of the guy checking his watch before loading up whatever it is they shoot off.

Two seconds later the cannon went off. I nearly jumped out of my skin, as you can see. It's hard to hold a camera steady when something is exploding a few feet away!

Don't worry Jen - you aren't alone in bricking it when the gun goes off!

You need sound for the full comedy value of that video :D

I did manage to find this one where they managed to hold the recorder well when the gun went off:
