When I was a kid the DeFuniak Springs library was absolutely decorated with old Scottish armor and swords.

I can recall thinking how strong those old Scots must have been as the swords were huge. I now know they were two handed but still require a lot of strength to wield.

Also they aren’t as heavy as they look.

They where called “Claymores”, they where a brutal weapon, capable of removing arms, heads and any other parts of your opponents anatomy it connected with.

The Claymore Land Mines where named after it.
