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.
