Some interesting facts about Mons Meg: Mons Meg was a massive and powerful cannon given to King James II in 1457. It was so big it could fire a 150kg (330 lbs) stone ball about 3.2km (2 miles). Moving the six-tonne cannon was a huge effort. It took a team of oxen to pull her, and they could only move about 5km (3 miles) a day. The cannon was used for a special occasion in 1558 to celebrate Mary Queen of Scots' wedding. It finally retired from service around 1550 and its barrel burst in 1681. Aft
