I was very pleased with this Quaich gift set. I wanted to give my son and his lovely Thai wife a 'wee Scottish minding' on their wedding day. They were delighted with this gift of a loving cup, which I had engraved with their names & date.

A Symbol Of Friendship

The quaich is a marvellous symbolic gift that is given to those to whom we wish to show our love, friendship, admiration or respect. It is also a distinctively Scottish gift that is appreciated by all around the world.

The word “quaich” comes from the Gaelic word “cuach”; meaning cup. They are shallow bowls with two short handles at opposite sides. They were traditionally made of wood but other materials were used depending on availability. Other materials used were stone, horn, and as metals became more commonly used, brass, pewter and silver. In some instances the quaich was made from a combination of materials. A common marriage was carved wood inlaid with pewter or silver.

The quaich originated in the Highlands but did not become popular throughout Scotland until 1745, when the quaich travelled from the North of Scotland with the armies of Bonnie Prince Charlie. This took the quaich as far south as Edinburgh and Derby. These quaichs were said to have glass bottoms so the person sipping a dram could keep an eye on those around them. A more romantic quaich had a double glass bottom in which was kept a lock of hair so that the owner could drink from his quaich to his lady love. In 1589, King James VI of Scotland gave Anne of Denmark a quaich or “loving cup” as a wedding gift.

Although some quaichs had glass bottoms for the suspicious among us, the quaich has overwhelmingly been seen as a cup of friendship. The quaich was used for a visitors welcome or farewell dram by Clan chiefs and wealthy merchants, and the humble crofter. Today many people offer welcome toasts using the quaich but most give them as a gift to those they hold dear. They are displayed in homes all over the world and reminds everyone of friendship.

Prompt, efficient service!

"The web site is easy to negotiate. My order arrived quickly, and in good condition. The Harris tweed purse I ordered is just right, and has already been remarked on several times as being very nice, and unusual. The Harris tweed brooch is a birthday present, and I think it will be appreciated; but it's so pretty, that I'll have to order one for myself now!"

Without doubt one of the best presents I have ever given!

"The whole experience I received from Kiltmakers was exceptional from start to finish. From efficiently sorting out my own mistake at the ordering process to receiving my order within days was superb. The quality of the product was exceptional with the engraving just as I imagined it might be. To top it off the presentation gift box was of a fantastic quality and my family member who received the present was really pleased. Well done to you all, I will use you again for sure."
