'Castle Grant' Scottish Highlander Targe
Castle Grant is the ancestral seat of the chiefs of Clan Grant.

The targe is based on an original 17th century targe that came from Castle Grant. The wooden shield is covered in tooled leather with traditional Celtic designs, brass studs, and mounts.

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 19th 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.
To receive the discount you have to buy this special product. The discount will not work if you purchase two swords and the targe separately.Regular Price: £335.00

Robert the Bruce Shield - Half Size
This style of shield first appeared in the medieval period. It evolved from the larger kite shield – which gradually became smaller as head and leg protection became better. It is commonly referred to as a “Heater” shield because of its resemblance to the shape of an old flat iron.
