Isle of Lewis Supergun

Everyone reckons that the world as we know it is going to end in 2012. But whether we're blitzed by asteroids, soaked by tsunamis, heavily dusted in volcanic ash, plagued by some superpox or simply the victims of global financial meltdown, the people of this island are prepared for the worst....

 

For years now this impressive supergun has been taking shape in the backyard at Arnish. It is designed to blast lethal 2 ton chunks of Stornoway black pudding at pirate ships in The Minch, or at flesh-eating zombies from Glescae attempting to wade across to this island paradise from Ullapool. If the impact doesn't kill them, the indigestion will.
