Mons Meg

Mons Meg adalah bombardir abad pertengahan yang terletak di Edinburgh Castle, Skotlandia. Dibangun pada 1449 atas perintah Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy dan dikirim oleh dia sebagai hadiah untuk Raja James II dari Skotlandia pada 1454.

Bombardir itu digunakan dalam pengepungan sampai pertengahan abad ke-16, setelah itu hanya menembak pada kesempatan upacara.

Mons Meg memiliki kaliber (barrel diameter) dari 20 inci (510 mm), membuatnya menjadi salah satu meriam terbesar di dunia dengan kaliber. Meriam merupakan bagian dari koleksi Royal Armouries, dipinjamkan ke Historic Scotland yang mengelola Edinburgh Castle.
