Code SL12 £21.95 108 mm long 4 1/4 inches | The Sword of Sir William Wallace (1274-·1305) In London on Monday 23 August ·1305 Wallace was unlawfully condemned and hanged, drawn and quartered. His head was impaled on London Bridge, his four quarters put on public display at Stirling, Perth, Berwick and Newcastle. His ferocity, bravery and resourcefulness were legendary, climaxing in a resounding victory at Stirling Bridge in 1297 when, aged 24, he routed the English and expelled them from Scotland. The barbarity of his martyrdom coupled with his inspired example to his countrymen immortalised his reputation as a Scots patriot and "Braveheart" warrior. (This is a reproduction in miniature of his actual broadsword which is held in the Wallace Monument - Stirling.)
The Sword of King Robert the Bruce (1274-1329) King of Scots, inspired by the perseverance of a spider in a cave, Bruce battled resolutely for Scottish Independence. The climax was at Bannockburn when on 24 June 1314 his Army, though out numbered three to one, convincingly defeated the English invaders forcing them finally to quit Scotland. In the end he won recognition for Scotland as an Independent Nation, in accord with the Declaration of Arbroath: "We fight nor for glory nor for wealth, nor honour but only and alone we fight for freedom which no good man surrenders but with his life." (This is a reproduction in miniature of his sculpted sword.) |

Code SL13 £21.95 105mm Long 4 1/4 inches | Highland Claymore (Culloden 1746) The last Battle on British soil There is no more evocative name in Scottish history than that of Culloden, the bleak Highland moor where on 6 April 1746 the most romantic yet ill-fated aspiration to restore Stuart rule to Scotland came to a tragic end. With a courage that has passed into legend, young Bonnie Prince Charlie and his fearless supporters took on the vast army of the Duke of Cumberland, oblivious to the crushing defeat that lay just 40 minutes ahead. So ended the jacobite Rising, the "Forty-Five". (This is a reproduction in miniature of the swords used on that day.)
