Travel Tips
It is fired at 1 from Edinburgh Castle and it just informs everyone that it is 1 pm. They fire it at 1 rather than noon so that thay can save money and gumpowder from one shor rather than twelve. The joke is that it is the most popular expression of Scottish thriftyness. Source(s): visit to the castle
