Scottish Greatsword (Black Sheath)

Scottish Greatsword (Black Sheath)

The Scottish Greatsword is a heavy weapon designed for infantry combat on medieval European battlefields from the Middle Ages to the modern era. Popular in Western Europe from the 15th to the 18th centuries, it is best known for its use by the elite Scottish Highlanders.

It is both a formidable weapon on the battlefield and a symbol of Scottish resistance, commonly seen on the battlefield against England. Its design is entirely geared towards the slashing and cutting needs of pike phalanxes. Its name, “Claidheamh mòr,” means “great sword” in Gaelic, representing one of the glories of the age of cold weapons and an enduring symbol of Scottish national culture and indomitable spirit.
