West Highland Warriors!

[louie]

Took time out from a weekend camping trip in Argyll to photograph some of the West Highland Graveslabs at Kilberry Castle and Kilmartin Church....

Kilmartin
The largest carved sword was amongst the Kilmartin group, a West Highland 'half-lang' type, measuring from point to pommel approx. 4ft 9in long with the grip being 'single-handed' sword size.
