The gun on the left is a 24 pounder manufactured at the Carron Company in Falkirk, Scotland. It is said to have been employed at the Siege of St Sebastian in 1812. There is a large dent in it where it was hit by a cannon ball which killed the gun layer. A close up of the gates can be seen at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5694836
