EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases two exquisitely preserved Tuaghs, also known as Lochaber axes, dating back to the 16th century. These Scottish battle axes, with their rich historical significance, are now proudly displayed at Edinburgh. The Tuaghs, derived from the Gaelic term "tuagh-chatha," were essential weapons during medieval times, particularly in Scotland. The distinctive features of these axes include their long shafts, which transformed them into poleaxes, and the hooks attached to some of them. These hooks, designed for catching and pulling, were a lethal addition to the weapon, enabling warriors to immobilize their opponents and bring them closer for a fatal blow. The Tuaghs' intricately designed blades, made of metal, were sharp and effective in both slashing and hacking. The axes' historical importance is further emphasized by their association with the Scottish clans and their role in numerous battles throughout history. The Tuaghs' preservation in Edinburgh is a testament to Scotland's rich military heritage and the enduring allure of its historical weapons. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when these axes were the difference between life and death on the battlefield.
