There are three distinct types of Claymore swords.

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.
