First Sentence
Andrew Symson, Minister of Kirkinner, Wigtownshire was the first person to write down the legend concerning Mons Meg. Although his book was written in 1684, it is clear that he was repeating an already ancient local tradition when he wrote 'the common report also goes that in the Isle of Threave the great iron gun commonly Mons Meg was wrought and made.'
Description
The only title devoted entirely to the legend and history of the ancient bombard called Mons Meg long housed in Edinburgh Castle, although originally constructed in the area around Mons and presented to James II of Scotland by Philip, Duke of Burgundy (1396-1467.)
