History of the Great Sword
A Symbol of the Scottish Highlands
The Claymore (from the Gaelic claidheamh-mòr) is a distinctive two-handed sword that has become synonymous with the Scottish clan wars and the Jacobite risings. Its most striking feature is the forward-sloping crossguard with quatrefoil terminals, which allowed for effective blocking and binding of enemy blades. Although the Claymore is often romantically associated with figures like William Wallace, its typical form actually appeared later, in the 16th century. It was the sword of elite warriors, and its size demanded both strength and skill to wield effectively.
