Mark Stephen kicks of the brand new series of Past Lives with a bang as he celebrates the 150th anniversary of Edinburgh Castle's iconic One O'Clock Gun.

From all over the world, thousands of people gather at Edinburgh Castle to see and hear the District Gunner fire the famous One O'Clock Gun. But do they realise that less than a mile away on Calton Hill, A Time Ball is dropped from Nelson's Monument at exactly the same time? And who were the smoke eaters in Edinburgh and what did they do with cleikes of iron? Mark reveals all in a visit to Edinburgh's Museum of Fire.
