Claymores are medieval swords that can be categorized into subsets. Claymore, which means “great sword” in Gaelic, was a very great sword indeed. The two handed, or Highland, claymore was used to fight the English for two hundred years, starting around 1500. The basket-hilted claymore is so named because of the basket type of protection that surrounds the sword wielder’s hand. The Wallace Sword is a claymore sword used by the legendary Scot William Wallace. Wallace led the resistance against the English in the Wars of Scottish Independence during the late 1200s. These medieval swords usually have long blades and are rather weighty. They make an impressive item to any sword collection.
