It was the dish from which the Scot supped his porridge and drank his ale.Quaich is derived from the Gaelic 'cuach' which, in turn, derives from low Latin 'caucus' - a drinking cup. These drinking cups were very widely used in Covenanting times and are mentioned in the Jacobite songs.The Quaich became the traditional toasting cup of welcome in Scotland or even good wishes upon farewell or parting. Surviving the centuries and mystique of history it is truly SCOTLAND'S CUP OF FRIENDSHIP. All hand made in sheffield
