Sorry,can't help in its identification. Me
thinks perhaps somebody lost their sword?
When my wife and I were in the backcountry,
my wife found an old machete that somebody
had tossed carelessly near a mountain lake.
It didn't have blood on it, so we took it
home with us. There are many 'secrets' out
there! I really love this little lochan.

The legendThe story goes that when the Scottish outlaw Robert the Bruce was being pursued by the English he ordered his troops to lighten themselves by throwing their heavy weaponry into a small lochan on their route. Amongst these weapons was Robert the Bruce's legendary sword. According to the legend the weapon was of huge size, reports going from between 5 and 9 feet in length. Shortly afterwards and only a mile from the loch Bruce was over hauled but despite being lightly armed they fought off the English and lived to fight another day.
Well, thats what I was told! I have heard other tales that it was William Wallace's sword but the story is largely the same either way.
