It's the One o'Clock bum

It is an unlikely tourist attraction created to have a sly dig at a local "coo-ncillor".

But now an unusual model of a cow's backside on the side of the Rowan Tree bar in Edinburgh is bidding to put the wind up some of the most famous monuments in Europe.



The Cowgate sculpture has been given a cheeky mechanical dimension that means that three times-a-day, it will lift up its tail and break wind.

It is scheduled to pass gas – in the form of white smoke – at 11am, noon and 1pm, though it's owner, former Scotland rugby star Norrie Rowan, insists he is not trying to challenge the One o'Clock Gun.

Instead, he is touting it as Edinburgh's answer to the world-famous Astronomical Clock in Prague.
