There is nothing better than wandering along Princes Street at 1pm and seeing all of the tourists and newcomers to the city jump when they hear the loud ‘BANG’ as the one o’clock gun goes off. Then again, there is nothing more embarrassing than living in Edinburgh your whole life then forgetting all about it and at 1pm wondering «Jesus what was that noise?» and almost jumping out of your skin.
