Perhaps you have seen, or even own a Quaich. This is the traditional Scottish Cup for welcoming guests into , or leaving your home. A good wee dram of the best whisky would be placed in the bowl, then with both hands on its “lugs” (ears) the drinker would bring it up to their mouth and enjoy their Dram.

However, you may not have known that during the time of Bonnie Prince Charlie (1745) the bowl shaped cup had a glass bottom, so that the “wary” visitor could keep an eye on their hosts whilst taking their dram.
