"Highland Targets and Other Shields" by James Drummond is a scholarly publication written in the early 1870s. This work delves into Scottish antiquities, focusing primarily on the warlike weapons and armor used by Highland warriors, particularly the shield known as the "Targaid" or Target. Drummond's examination highlights the historical significance and various forms of these weapons, presenting a detailed analysis supported by illustrations. In this book, Drummond discusses the evolution and design of Highland shields, comparing them with similar artifacts from other cultures and eras, including Roman and Scandinavian examples. He provides insights into the materials, craftsmanship, and artistic embellishments of the shields, with particular attention to their cultural significance among the Highland clans. The text also addresses the historical context in which these weapons were used, exploring how they were designed for both defense and offense in the heat of battle. Through meticulous research and description, Drummond aims to fill the gap in Scotland's archaeological literature regarding these important relics of warfare.
