👉 The Scottish Weapon, also known as the "Craigievar," is a traditional Scottish longbow that was widely used during the medieval period, particularly in the 15th and 16th centuries. It was named after the Craigievar Castle in Perthshire, where it was first recorded in use. This weapon was renowned for its powerful draw weight and accuracy, allowing Scottish archers to shoot arrows with significant force over long distances. The Craigievar featured a unique design, with a long, straight shaft and a distinctive crossbow-like sighting mechanism, which helped the archer aim precisely. Its effectiveness played a crucial role in Scottish military campaigns, contributing to their successes against larger forces.
