The term claymore (IPA: /ˈkleɪmɔr/ or /kleɪˈmɔr/, from Scottish Gaelic claidheamh mòr, "great sword"[1]) may refer to one of two distinct types of Scottish broadswords. Originally it referred to a two-edged broadsword with a cross hilt, of which the guards were usually turned down, used by the Highlanders of Scotland. The name was then applied to the single-edged basket-hilted sword adopted in the 16th century and still worn as the full-dress sword in the Highland regiments of the British Army....
