2011
Ceremony
This photo was taken on August
9, 2011 when a ceremony was held to commemorate the planting of the 2011
Floral Clock and the 150th Anniversary of the first firing of the One
o'Clock Gun. Here, one of
the speakers for the One o'Clock Gun Association is giving some background
information about the Floral Clock and the One o'Clock Gun.
The man standing on the extreme right, behind the clock, in this photo
is George Robinson. He carved the first wooden cuckoo for the floral
clock, in his studio at
Ramsay Lane, near Edinburgh Castle. The cuckoo was fitted around
1953. |
