The Quaich is the classic small drinking bowl of Scotland – and is a truly traditional Scottish gift.
I hand turn the quaichs from mostly Scottish timber in my workshop near Perth. Due to the natural quailites of wood, each quaich is completely unique. They are therefore an excellent and traditional gift to mark special occasions: weddings, as "loving cups", retirements, golf or Highland Games trophies, for Burns night or St Andrews day, or any other celebration, especially surrounding Scottish traditions. This year is also the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns and Scotland's Year of Homecoming, what better souvenir of this special year than a handmade timber quaich
In addition I now offer an engraving service. Either a polished aluminium or a sterling silver disc can be inset into the underside of the foot. Or, if the quaich is not intended for drinking from, it can be inserted into the base of the bowl as can be seen in the picture on the right.
