Midlothian / Re: Castle Mills (Edinburgh)?
« on: Thursday 25 May 06 19:43 BST (UK) »
Good evening Michael
This is an extract from an article on the "One o'clock gun" fired from Edinburgh Castle
The gun used to be fired from the "Half Moon" battery on the castle to its present position on the Mills Mount Battery. There are four guns there and a salute of 21 guns can be fired on ceremonial occasions (there are at least Royal Salutes each year).
It was also known as "Castle Mills Battery"
The North British Rubber Co factory in Foutainbridge was also " Castle Mills"
Trust this is of some help.
