Found in Glen Nevis in 2019. It is 40mm in diameter. It would have been fired from a swivel gun.

Basket-hilted Broadsword

Found in a cave at the head of Loch Treig called Craig Guanach in 1880. The bones of a man's arm and hand were said to have been found holding the sword. It is thought that there was once a big clan battle near this location and it's possible that the owner of the sword crawled into the cave and died.
