About The Wooden Quaichs

The Quaich is the classic small drinking bowl of Scotland – and is a truly traditional Scottish gift.

Our wooden quaichs are all hand turned, (mainly) from Scottish timber in rural Perthshire. 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 celebrations, to celebrate first cider pressings, for Burns night or St Andrews day, or any other celebration, especially surrounding Scottish traditions.

In addition we 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.

Although not replicas, many of the items I produce are inspired by surviving historical artifacts. Each piece is made individually, generally from scottish timber or recycled wood. Whilst no two items are identical, we can produce a close matching set.

Information on the history of the Scottish Quaich, can be found here. Or, please browse the Quaich gallery for examples of our wooden quaichs
