I assume that your user name refers to the giant 1400s vintage Bombard which the Sots still keep in Edinburgh castle. I saw it during a trip to Scotland a few years ago. The cannon was a gift to the King of Scotland from the Duke of Burundy.
What amazed me as an engineer was the remarkably advanced technology (for the 1400s) used in ite design and construction. It was ca[able of being transported with the Scots army and was capable of blowing holes in the walls of any castle in the British Ilses.
