        And I was expecting a Canon Ae-1 or something similar! I like the picture, but i doubt the shot would be a good idea....have you ever seen what a burst barrel does? (If they had cannons in this condition, no wonder the Scots lost at Culloden.....)

        Nice treatment.

          These types of cannons have two "n"s in them!

              I was aware of the spelling - just my attempt at a joke that failed miserably

                Not so sure that the Jacobites had Cannons at the Battle of Culloden. Most of them turned up kitted out with daggers and swords which were no match for the Hanoverian weaponry.

                One of the many myths of this event is that it was a Scottish versus English affair. In fact, far more Scots supported and fought on the Hanoverian side than on the Jacobite.

                We won at Bannockburn much earlier in 1314 though
