Informations supplémentaires

This image shows the Portuguese Cannon on Calton Hill in Edinburgh, Scotland. This brass cannon has travelled all over the world. Cast in the early 15th century, with the Royal Arms of Spain on its barrel, the cannon was transported to the Portuguese colonies in southeast Asia sometime before 1785. Then either by trade or capture, the cannon came into the possession of the King of Arakan, ruler of a state on the west coast of Burma. It was subsequently captured by the British during their invasion of Burma in 1885. In 1886 the canon was presented to Edinburgh and placed on Calton Hill the following year.
