"I'm frae Hamilton"
Patrick was born and raised in Hamilton, Scotland. As a young man he
traveled to America and settled in the San Francisco bay area with his family.
Pat enjoys a "warm one" on a recent trip to the UK.

Joining the U.S. Army just prior to the Korean Conflict, Patrick met his
wife Rosalie, while based at Fort Lewis, Washington. Upon their marriage, they made
Seattle, Washington their home.
Patrick always had a fascination with anything pertaining the ancient
arms, especially edged weapons. After spending many years of his spare time researching
and gathering his own collection, Patrick started making his own targes to help display
his collection of swords. Soon other collectors became interested in Patrick's targes,
commissioning him to design and fabricate pieces for themselves, thus the beginning of
Scottish Sword & Shield.
