As to the swords, it would depend upon what era you are addressing as to which would be more prominent.

The Claymore is the earlier design, by the early 18th century basket hilt double edged blade were becoming more common. At the time of Culoden the highland fighters would have been armed with their choice of Claymore and basket hilted swords. At that time the basket hilts were both double and single edged, fairly well split between the two. Whether wielding a Claymore or Basket hilt and Targe no wise man would want to face a highland fighter when his dander is up.
