History of Quaich <\/h3>\n \n
\n

‘Quaich’ translated from Celtic to English means ‘a cup of love a cup of friendship’.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u00a0is a traditional Scottish drinking cup that has been used for centuries to share a dram of whisky with friends and guests. Its history can be traced back to the 16th century with Kings James VI of Scotland giving a special decorative\u00a0Quaich\u00a0to Anne of Denmark in 1589 as a wedding gift.<\/p>\n

As the popularity of whisky grew in Scotland, so did the use of the\u00a0Quaich\u00a0as a vessel for sharing the drink.<\/p>\n

Today, the\u00a0Quaich remains an important part of Scottish culture and heritage and is still used in formal and informal occasions as a symbol of friendship and goodwill.<\/p>\n <\/article>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
