Brunswick Street Lane is a surprising venue, not far off Leith Walk, for a sword-maker. There is no great foundry, no dramatic exhibition hall and no sparks, clangs and clashes. Instead, swinging in the breeze is a sign “of the Cross and Sword†which identifies the home of Macdonald Armoury. This unostentatious but specialist armoury has been producing craftsman-made swords since 1998, which are exported throughout the world.
