The Great Sword of Dunvegan

No, it’s not Excalibur but the great Sword of Dunvegan, and it’s over 500 years old. 🗡️

This sword was a weapon of great power, made by the MacLeods of Suardal who were the Blacksmiths to the MacLeods of Dunvegan.

A claymore (Claidheamh Mòr, or “great sword" in Gaelic) such as this would have cost a small fortune and was typically used by Clan Chiefs.

Its real power was in its length and weight.

The blade is three feet (approximately 90cm) in length and, together with its weight, would have been lethal in a double-handed swing.

The sword is difficult to date. Its features suggest the late 15th or early 16th century AD.

A depiction of it on the tombstone of Alasdair Crotach MacLeod (1450 – 1547), the 8th Clan Chief, tells us it cannot be dated after 1528 AD.

What makes this sword even more fascinating is that it is made with Scottish steel instead of German steel.

I only know about TF2 second-handedly, but...

...I'm almost embarrassed how long it took me to realize that the Eyelander is a claymore.

#it's even a scottish type of sword #it's so obvious #and i only realized that now #as of writing this post #team fortress 2 #tf2 #tf2 eyelander #tf2 demoman

Broadsword believed to have belonged to a Black Watch officer, likely seeing service during the War of the Austrian Success/1745 Jacobite Rising and the Seven Years War.

Also for some weird reason even though the pics are the right way up Tumblr turns them like this, so yeah.

I was looking into the history of Scottish sword dancing and one theory of its origin is that it literally started by emoting on some dead guy.

King Malcolm III straight up default danced on this dead ass chieftain and everyone was like “damn, he onto something”

The captivating history of William Wallace's sword, believed to have been a royal gift from the King of France, is nothing short of a Scottish epic! From its vanishing act in 1930 to its resurgence, historians dive into the mystery of William Wallace's last sword, tracing its path from a Scottish parish to a private auction in 1930.

The legendary sword's ties to William Wallace, its massive size, mysterious repairs, and disputed history make it a topic of heated discussion among historians.

Basket-Hilted Sword from Stirling, Scotland dated to the Mid 18th Century on display at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh, Scotland

This curved basket-hilted sword was made by Walter Allan of Stirling who was a swordsmith in mid 18th century Scotland. Scottish swords from the 17th century to 18th century often had German blades as Scotland had strong links with the German Elector States through their eastern ports in Leith and Aberdeen. Most blades were straight ones but some were curved like this one here. Such blades were often referred to being in the "Turkish Style" when portrayed in paintings.

There are many Scottish Claymore swords available on the market, but precious few of the arming swords of the Medieval Scots, which mirror the Claymore in having a regionally distinct aesthetic for their finely tuned weapons of war.
