Product Information

pounder guns which first entered service in 1904. Other guns used for salutes include the L118 Light Gun, which is a 105mm towed howitzer, first developed for the British Army in the 1970s Before the union with England, Stirling Castle was a Scottish royal residence, a palace as well as a fortress. Several Scottish Kings and Queens were crowned at Stirling, including Mary, Queen of Scots in 1542, and others were born or died there. But what was the significance of these salutes, where did they take place, who fired the guns and why were a different number of rounds fired depending on the location?

Each gun is maintained by a limber gunner to an exacting standard. This is a significant challenge given there is no published maintenance manual nor spare parts. It takes approximately 100 hours to prepare each gun for state occasions. At midday, a 41-gun royal salute from the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery was sounded in nearby Green Park.
