SB | Episode 70: Edinburgh’s one o’clock gun

One of the city's great traditions - when visitors jump in fright ad locals check their watches. On the anniversary month in which the gun was first fired in 1861 we look at why this tradition developed and some of the characters associated with it.

As always we finish with our Scots words of the episode.
