Colour photograph of a quaich presented to Malcolm MacIntyre in 1863.
Quaich presented in 1863 to Malcolm MacIntyre who emigrated to New Zealand in 1861 where he struck gold and then returned to Scotland. He was probably the son of Donald MacIntyre of Kirkapol and his wife Catherine MacArthur of Vaul who may have moved from Tiree to Easdale.
The inscription on the silver band round the top of the quaich reads, ‘This quaich is a part of Wallace’s tree in which he took shelter A.D. 1300. Malcolm MacIntyre 1863.’ The band at the side is inscribed with ‘Clanna nan Gaidheal ri Guailibh a chèile’ (Children of the Gael shoulders together) and ‘Tìr nam beann, nan Gleann, ’s nan Gaisgeach’ (Land of mountains, glens and heroes).

Cornaig mill in 1962
Photograph of the interior of Cornaig mill in 1962.
Courtesy of Dr Euan Mackie
This photograph of the interior of Cornaig mill was taken in 1962 by Dr Euan Mackie of the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow. The shaft from the water wheel which turned the grinding stones can be seen protruding through the wall.
The other end of the mill was taken up with the ‘àth’, or drying kiln, which was fired with coal and driftwood washed ashore during the winter. Grain had to be dried before milling and great skill was needed in making sure it did not toast too fast or the flour would be left with a bitter taste.
The grain was poured on to slotted iron sheets above the kiln and two men, with white cloths tied over their boots, turned the grain at intervals with wooden shovels until it was toasted brown.
