QUAICH
A Gaelic word meaning ‘shallow cup’. This style of drinking vessel with two handles called ‘lugs’ originated in the Highlands of Scotland centuries ago. Originally fashioned from wood, staghorn or leather, from the 17th Century quaiches were made from pewter or silver. Traditionally, a Quaich is offered to a guest as a form of welcome or a parting drink, generally whisky.
ROBERT BURNS (25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796) The National Poet of Scotland reverred for his writings and songs.
