Awesome. Beautiful. Splendid. Gorgeous!

(I would have called this a 'claymore' if I saw it in a Scottish setting- no doubt someone can tell my why that would be wrong? )

Because it's more of a kaniggetly one-hand sword. The Scottish claymore or claidheamh da laimh (two-hand sword) had a distinctively different crossguard & quillions as well as a fairly wide but comparatively thin blade and longer grip.
