"Until 1823, when an Act of Parliament was passed legalising whisky distilling in Scotland, all whisky was produced illegally in small stills in the Highlands and smuggled to the rest of Scotland. It was a way of using surplus barley to earning money. Before individual drinking glasses were used, particularly in company, a toddy ladle was used to scoop the mix of whisky and hot water from the toddy bowl. Many sizes and designs of ladle exist, made from metal, wood, horn, ivory and bone. This toddy ladle is quite large and is carved from a single piece of wood. It has an oval bowl and the handle is two interwoven spirals, like a double helix, a traditional design, with has a hook on the end for hanging over the edge of the bowl. It comes from Aberdeenshire and dates from the late 18th or early 19th century."
