Wrong on display location?[edit]

In the current article it says "Today, the Dulle Griet is on display at Edinburgh Castle in Scotland, where it was taken as a war prize by the Scottish army during the Siege of Edinburgh in 1573."

However, I was in Gent last weekend and I think that it is there (indeed, the picture in the article is from Gent), you can see it in StreetView here: https://www.google.com/maps/@51.0573842,3.7242384,3a,75y,240.15h,82.57t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s0rB-HXLrmC0X-o9ptcysQg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?entry=ttu

Later in the article it says "Three cannons were founded: one resides now in Edinburgh and is called "Mons Meg", and the last one was in France but has since been lost.", so it seems that the one in Edinburgh is "Mons Meg", and "Dulle Griet" is indeed in Gent.

However, I didn't want to edit the article, as I'm not sure if that's the case or if the one in Gent is a reproduction, and I couldn't find any information about it. So I thought mentioning it in this discussion for someone else with more knowledge to review. Epsilon wikieditor (talk) 07:07, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
