The Freedom Fighter Early Scottish Claymore

Few names inspire Scottish pride like William Wallace, the legendary freedom fighter who stood against overwhelming odds more than seven centuries ago. At the Battle of Stirling Bridge, Wallace and his band of Lowlanders defeated a superior English force, earning him the title “Guardian of Scotland.” His legacy of courage and defiance is immortalized in stories, film, and the mighty two-handed claymore that symbolizes the spirit of Scotland’s fight for independence.

History of the Claymore

The early Scottish claymore was a massive weapon designed for sweeping cuts and powerful thrusts on the battlefield. Measuring over five feet in length, these swords were not worn in scabbards but carried across the back or shoulder, ready for combat. Their immense reach and weight gave Highland warriors the ability to break enemy lines and inspire fear among their foes. The Wallace claymore pays tribute to this tradition, honoring one of the most iconic figures in Scotland’s history.
