A one-handed basket-hilted broadsword was popular with Scottish troops from the 18th century onwards, even seeing combat on the beaches of Normandy during World War II. The basket was designed to protect the hand in combat. This latter form of claymore can be seen in some forms of highland traditional dance as well as on the dress uniforms of Brittish Army regiments drawn from the region.
