The Quaich, Scotland's cherished “cup of friendship,” holds a special place in Scottish tradition, symbolising hospitality, unity, and trust.
The history of the Quaich dates back centuries. They were originally used at Highland clan gatherings to offer a welcoming drink to visiting guests, when taking a sip from the Quaich as it was passed around was a way for opposing clans to show the beginning of a new friendship and prove their trust in one another.
The reason this type of vessel is used is that is must be held by two hands.
Alongside the practicality and comfort of the Quaich having two handles, this design allows it to be shared and easily passed between one person and another, symbolising trust.
