I've seen a fair few goblets this shape, engraved with various castles. (Certainly, both Edinburgh and Stirling). They come in neodynum glass too. I don't have any, to add images.

Most of the engravers will source their blanks from similar/same makers. Dartington, Caithness, China, East Europe etc.

I should have made it clear they were all Caithness!
I see a lot of Caithness around.

Caithness Engraving is a different company, and I do not think that is a Caithness blank - although similar to their bowls.
