Quaich is a Scots rendering of the the Gaelic word "cuach"; meaning a cup. Quaichs were used for whisky or brandy, and in the 19th century Sir Walter Scott dispensed drams in silver inlaid quaichs. Used for visitor's welcome or farewell cup by proud Clan Chiefs, worthy merchants, or humble crofters, the quaich has kept its simple but beautiful shape and friendly purpose. The Gaelic word for tartan is 'breacon' which means 'chequered' and the first tartans were simple checks of two or three colours. The original dyes were obtained from native plants and the old tartans were, therefore, woven in soft colours of quiet beauty. We feel the subtlety of these engraved designs reflect this tradition.

Please notify us if you would prefer your message on the base or on a matching plinth (purchased separately), and we will be happy to arrange this.
Please note that engraving adds 1-2 weeks to the delivery time.
