The fierce battle cries of Scotland's Highland clans

Used by clans to rattle their fighting foes and to help distinguish different sides during a battle, each Scottish clan had its own war cry that would have a psychological effect on the enemy, as well as helping to find comrades on the battle field.

The battle cries of the clans would often include the rallying points of home or immortalise powerful leaders. Here are some of the most famous.
