The One O'Clock Gun - A Timeless Tradition at Edinburgh Castle
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the 1940s, amidst the chaos of World War II. Standing proudly atop Edinburgh Castle's ancient ramparts is a man, his hand firmly grasping a cannon. This mighty artillery piece is none other than "The One O'Clock Gun" an iconic time signal that has been fired daily at precisely 13:00 for centuries. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported to a time when every day was punctuated by the resounding boom of this cannon. Its powerful blast echoed through the city streets, allowing citizens and visitors alike to set their watches accurately. During those tumultuous years of war, even in the face of adversity and uncertainty, this timeless tradition continued without fail - except on Sundays, Good Friday, and Christmas Day when its thunderous voice remained silent. Edinburgh Castle itself stands tall on Castle Rock as a symbol of strength and resilience. It served as both fortress and tourist attraction during these challenging times. The castle's imposing presence against the backdrop of Scotland's capital city reminds us that history endures despite turmoil. George Greenwell skillfully captures not only a moment frozen in time but also an enduring testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. This remarkable photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst darkness, there are traditions that stand strong – reminding us all that time marches forward regardless of circumstance or conflict.
