Distributed free in Edinburgh''s bars and bookshops the One O''Clock Gun began in 2004 as a thought provoking, ballsy and often irreverent paper that initially appeared with a humble few followers.Today, over fifteen years later, The Gun is an Edinburgh institutution.Distributed from handmade wooden boxes, the One O''Clock Gun appears to be an A4 sheet but in fact folds out to a double-sided A2 broadsheet, both sides crammed with stories poems and illustrations.Although the Gun began with a handful of writers penning their stories under pseudonyms, it wasn''t long before amateur and professional authors alike were attracted, and slowly as its reputation grew, submissions came in from farther afield.CONTRIBUTORS: Andy Anderson; Raymond Bell; Don Birnam; Graham Brodie; Robin Cairns; Angus Calder; Paul Carter; Reggie Chamberlain-King; Sandy Christie; Michael Conway; Gav Duvet; Keith Farquhar; Craig Gibson; Peter Burnett; Alasdair Gray; Rodge Glass; Martin Hillman; Gavin Inglis; Robert Alan Jamieson; Will Lawson; Jenny Lindsay; Barry McLaren; Steve McLellan; James Mooney; Marc Phillips; Karl Plume; Jim Ritchie; Suhayl Saadi; Eoin Sanders; Cathy Scrutton; Andrew Smith; Robin Vandome; Kevin Williamson; Andrew J Wilson; Ross Wilson; Kirsti Wishart; James Wood
