<dc:title>Silver Quaich</dc:title>
<dc:subject>Victorian</dc:subject>
<dc:description>Silver quaichs are used by Scots to take a wee dram of whisky. This silver quaich has a fascinating story to tell and is said to have been drunk from by royalty on four occasions. Tradition says Prince Charles Edward Stuart drank from the quaich during the 1745 Rising. Prince Albert drank from it in 1847, followed by Queen Victoria in 1873 and the Prince of Wales in the 1930s. The quaich is mentioned in Queen Victoria's Highland Journals. Queen Victoria's Highland Journal for 13th September 1873 reads: &quot;As we came through Ballachulish the post boy suddenly stopped, and a very respectable, stout looking old Highlander stepped up to the carriage with a silver quaich, out of which he said Prince Charles had drunk, and also my dearest Albert in 1847, and begged that I would do the same. A table, covered with a cloth and with a bottle on it, was on the other side of the road. I felt I could hardly refuse, and therefore tasted some whisky out of it, which delighted the people who were standing around.&quot;</dc:description>
