2 months agoWow, Mons Meg is an absolute beast! This massive 15th-century siege cannon, gifted to King James II in 1457, weighs six tonnes and could hurl a 150kg stone ball up to 2 miles. Standing beside this medieval giant on the ramparts is impressive – a true icon of Scotland’s military history. Don’t miss it inside Edinburgh Castle!
