The Highland Claymore

The most recognized form of the Highland Claymore came into being around the end of the 15th century. Because there are so few original claymores in existence today, most of the information as to style and form comes from burial tombs that depicted the effigy of the buried person with a sword of that period.

By the end of the sixteenth century it seemed to be reaching the end of its active life and complex development. Although it probably continued in use well into the 17th century, the basket hilt sword was soon to replace it completely.

Today, it stands as a great symbol of Scottish heritage.
