Talla nan còrn, the hall of revelry (cups); neart nan còrn, the strength of the drinking-horns (strong drink). All the northern nations formerly drank out of horns which were commonly those of the urus or European buffalo. These horns were carefully dressed up and their edges lipped all round with silver. One of these immense horns, at least, an ox-horn of prodigious size is still preserved in Dunvegan Castle. It was only produced before guests and the drinker, in using it, twisted his arm round its spines and turning his mouth towards the right shoulder, was expected to drain it off.
