About this book
In the early 1870s, as Scotland grappled with its rich martial heritage, James Drummond's "Highland Targets and Other Shields" emerged as a vital exploration of the region's warrior culture. This scholarly work meticulously examines the craftsmanship and historical significance of the Targaid, or Target, alongside other formidable armaments that defined Highland battles. Drummond's insights into these unyielding shields reveal not only their practical use in warfare but also their role in shaping Scottish identity. Ideal for historians, students, and civic activists interested in Scottish antiquities, this publication offers a compelling narrative that intertwines artistry and history, making it an essential resource for understanding the legacy of Highland warriors.
