Targe & weapons

An Targaid Gaidhealach

In May this year I commissioned Ian Dickson of clan Keith to constructed a targe to be used for display purposes in the Forsyth clan tent at Highland Game events & also at home. I wanted a targe that I felt would do justice to becoming a family heirloom that I could pass on to future generations. It was also important that I had complete decision making on the design and materials used so that the targe was custom-made to my preferences.

You can see for yourself below how well the resulting finished article turned out.
