A Rich Heritage

The Story of the Quaich

From the Gaelic cuach — pronounced "quake"

A uniquely Scottish invention with no apparent connection to any other European drinking vessel. Traditionally, the quaich was used to offer a guest a cup of welcome — and also as a farewell drink, usually a dram of whisky. Travellers were even known to carry one with them.
