Especially six tons of weapons was a gift to the King of Scotland James II, Duke of Burgundy (Eastern France) in 1454. For hundreds of years after it was put into active service with the aim of including Norham Castle, which it could not conquer, and then it became a ceremonial gun effective way of Scotland. To this day it's enough of a tourist trap which it attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.Although it is large enough and firmly that, in its heyday, the gun can fire thirty Cannon 300 table more than two miles, it is actually a fairly subtle piece of work, the evidence is that when part of it exploded in the year 1681. For decades sustained only one seemed to allow it to be drawn and painted on it, which both reduced quality of the tucked metal and make it more difficult to maintain properly.
