Gunnaichean-mòra Gearmailteach is Ruiseanach aig Caisteal Inbhir Nis, c.1920

Dearbh-aithne: GB1796_1999_116_366 TUAIRISGEUL: Air làimh chlì na deilbh seo, tha gunna-mòr Gearmailteach a chaidh a ghlacadh le na Camshronaich aig àm a’ Chogaidh Mhòir; air an làimh dheis tha gunna-mòr Ruiseanach a chaidh a ghlacadh aig àm sèist Sebastopol ann an Cogadh a’ Chrimea. Chaidh an gunna Gearmailteach a ghlacadh aig Blàr Loos air an 25mh Sultain 1915, le 5mh Buidheann-catha nan Camshronach. Aig àm sgrìobhaidh (2017), chithear e taobh a-muigh Taigh-tasgaidh Chloinn Chamshroin ann an Achadh na Cairidh. B’ e fear de phaidhear a bh’ anns an gunna Ruiseanach, a chaidh a thoirt dhan bhaile san Lùnastal 1857. Às dèidh Cùmhnant Pharais, chaidh cuibhreann Bhreatainn de fhaoibh Shèist Sebastopol a thoirt chun na h-Arm-lainn Rìoghail ann an Woolwich agus às an sin, chaidh mu 300 a sgaoileadh gu bailtean a bha gan iarraidh (chaidh an còrr a leaghadh). Chaidh iarrtas a dhèanamh às leth Inbhir Nis leis a' BhP airson Siorrachd Inbhir Nis, Eanraig Seumas Mac a’ Bhàillidh, agus anns an Lùnastal 1857, ràinig baraillean dà ghunna-mhòr anns an robh 45 punnd agus air nach deach mòran millidh a dhèanamh, Cidhe Thornbush. Ann an 1861, chaidh carbadan a chaidh a dhèanamh a dh’aona-ghnothach de dh'iarann-molltaichte a chur an àite nan carbadan air an robh na gunnaichean o thùs, agus chithear iad anns an dealbh seo. Chaidh an dèanamh le Ionad-leaghaidh Sràid Ròis. Ann an 1981, chaidh na gunnaichean a reic ri ceannaiche meatailt à Eilginn.
