Scope and Content Cooling dish, Dairy, Guisachan, Highland Dating from 1860, this huge courtyard steading was designed by A & W Reid & Mackenzie for Lord Tweedmouth who bought Guisachan estate from William Fraser of Culbokie in 1854. Guisachan House is now a ruin, but the farm, which includes a picturesque dairy, and the model village of Tomich, are still standing. This shows one of the cooling dishes in the dairy with the trademark 'Vernon's patent; Proprietor of Patent Rights; Zuccan London'. The usual practice was to bring the milk straight from the cows to the dairy where it was strained into these large shallow dishes and left for ten hours while the cream rose. In summer, in a well-designed dairy, the cream would keep for two and a half days, and in winter, five days. Churning took 12 hours and then the remaining moisture had to be worked out by patting. The dairy would never be built close to drains, middens, animal food or livestock. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
