There are three distinct types of Claymore swords.
First, The original ‘claidheamh mor’ refers to the large two-handed sword used in the late Medieval to early modern times.
Second, called a ‘claidheamh da laimh’ was also a two-handed heavy broadsword.
A claymore from Scottish Gaelic: claidheamh-mòr, “great sword” is either the Scottish variant of the late medieval two-handed sword or the Scottish variant of the basket-hilted sword.
The word claymore was first used in reference to swords in the 18th century in Scotland and parts of England to refer to basket-hilted swords. Such swords remain in service with officers of Scottish regiments in Great Britain and various Commonwealth countries today.
