The Targe, decorated round leather covered wooden disc, was the shield of the Scots. The design on the Scottish targe was specific to his clan, just like the tartan in his kilt. This Clan Forbes Targe design has been historically researched. The original is displayed at the Perth Armoury Museum in Perth, Scotland. Each handmade targe is leather covered, front and back, adorned with the solid brass studs, brass plates and dome according to the clan design.
