Full Description
A dirk was reportedly found in the 1960s-70s and later submitted to Treasure Trove (TT 115/14). Interestingly, the blade of the dirk was formed from a cut-down sword blade. It may be related to the Battle of Culloden. The dirk was allocated to Invernesss Museum and is listed under Acc. No. 2015.007. See TT report for further details. <1> <2>
