The Sword of the Laird of Lundy, Lundie, Lundin
The sword of the laird of Lundin achieved fame in the 19th century as it was one of five ancient swords used in the ceremony for the laying of the foundation stone of the Wallace monument on the 24th June 1861. To show the importance of this sword and Lundin's place in Scottish history, the other swords were that of King Robert the Bruce, Sir William Wallace, Sir John de Grahame, and the Black Douglas.
The sword is supposed to date back at least as far as the time of Sir Richard de Lundy, the suposed friend of Wallace.
