What would a Scott who could afford chainmail, and wielding a Big Sword (Claymore) have worn with it?
I've been hunting for answers on this. It appears the popularity of the claymore century wise was late enough for plates and brigandines, but from what google turns up, this type of armor would not have been prevalent in the highlands. I have a sword and hauberk, and want to put something together more rather than less historical that I could incorporate what I already have. Anyone know of any artwork or engravings that would depict such a thing? And please don't let this devolve into; Actually, a claymore is a basket hilt sword... lol, I know.
