Scottish Swords

The William Wallace Sword on display at the Stirling Monument, Scotland, is alleged to have been used by Wallace at the battles of Stirling Bridge and Falkirk. After his execution in 1305, the sword is alleged to have been sent to John de Menteith, governor of Dumbarton Castle. In 1505, accounts show that James IV of Scotland paid 26 shillings to an armourer for "binding of Wallace's sword with cords of silk" and fitting it with "a new hilt and plummet" – which would account for the 16^th century style hilt. A “new scabbard and a new belt” was also purchased at that time. Legend tells that the original scabbard and belt were made from the dried skin of Hugh Cressingham, one of the English Commanders at the Battle of Stirling Bridge.

Our William Wallace Sword is a replica of the one displayed at the Stirling Monument. It features a huge 136cm blade, the total length of the sword being an intimidating166cm! The 16^th century style hilt fittings are made from solid steel and feature a leather-wrapped wooden grip. This impressive sword has a blunt blade and is designed for display only. 

Please note: The extreme length of the forged blade means that it is too flexible for anything but display. The blade may also have imperfections such as a slight twist or curve (that wouldn’t be noticed when hanging on a wall unless you were looking for it). The original sword on display in the Sterling Monument, has a blade made from 3 separate swords welded together and is certainly not free from imperfections.

The Clan Macleod Family Sword was wielded by the immortal Connor Macleod in the cult 80’s movie Highlander. He used it from the time of his first battle with the Kurgan and Clan Fraser in 1536 up until the death of his wife in 1590 where it was used as a grave marker. He returns in 1995 to retrieve the sword after his katana is broken by the immortal Kane. The sword is still in place although worn by the ravages of time.

This item is now out of license but made to the same exact specifications as the original licensed product. It features a steel hilt with “Macleod” emblazoned across the guard and a brown suede wrapped handle.

The iconic Basket Hilt Sword was wielded by Jacobite warriors during the rebellions of 1715 and 1745. It was usually partnered with the Scottish targe shield and was used to devastating effect during the Highland Charge! After the rebellion had been suppressed, the wearing of Scottish Basket Hilt swords, synonymous with Highland dress, was outlawed. However, the sword was adopted by officers of the Highland regiments in the 19^th century.

Our Jacobite Basket Hilt Sword features a brass basket with red cloth lining. The hand forged high carbon steel blade has a blunt edge and is housed in a leather covered wood scabbard.
