The Black Watch Broadsword
From the Lessons of the Highland Officer

The Highland Officer was a Captain Sinclair who served in the Black Watch some time in the second half of the 18th century. While his method is definitely part of the Regimental Style, it includes several rather conservative features that are more reminiscent of Thomas Page.

Angelo's version of the Highland Broadsword was the only art we taught in the Cateran Society for our first few years, and it is still the most popular art we teach. Several years ago we added Thomas Page to our curriculum, and now we're adding some of the other historical broadsword masters. We've arranged this material into sets of ten lessons so it will fit in with the rest of our curriculum. Because we haven't practiced these lessons for years as we have the lessons of Page and Angelo, the choreography is going to look a little more cautious and deliberate, but we think the variety of the different broadsword methods should be interesting. The members of our Apprenticeship Program will now have the option of studying any of these methods.
