Gun Crew at the Ready

Calton Hill Cannon, Edinburgh with a chequered history:
The cannon was transported to the Portugese colonies in southeast Asia sometime before 1785. There is an inscription along side of coat of arms, written later, and is thought to be Burmese, as the cannon was once kept by a Burmese King. It was captured by the British during the invasion of Burma in 1885 and presented to Edinburgh in 1886.

I would not think it a good idea to stand behind that cannon when firing it. Looks to have been a long reach weapon. Thank you for the narrative.
