On 23 August 1994, in a boathouse on the Scottish island of [[Jura, Scotland|Jura]], Drummond and Cauty incinerated £1,000,000 in cash.<ref>"One million [[wiktionary:quid|Quid]]" in [[British slang]]</ref> The burning was witnessed by an old friend of Drummond's, freelance journalist Jim Reid, who subsequently wrote an article about the ceremony for ''[[The Observer]]''.<ref name="Reid"/> It was filmed on [[Hi-8]] by their friend [[Alan Goodrick|Gimpo]].

Reid admitted to first feeling shock and guilt about the burning, which quickly turned to boredom. The money took well over an hour to burn as Drummond and Cauty fed £50 notes into the fire. Drummond later said that only about £900,000 of the money was actually burnt &ndash; the rest flew straight up the chimney.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0%2C%2C1220512%2C00.html |title='It's not haute cuisine' |last=Simpson |first=Dave |date=20 May 2004 |newspaper=[[The Guardian]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060404181323/http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0%2C%2C1220512%2C00.html |archive-date=4 April 2006}}</ref>  The press reported that an islander handed £1,500 into the police; the money had not been claimed and would be returned to the finder.<ref>{{LibraryOfMu|tl=news|mu-id=389|first=Gillian|last=Bowditch|title=Duo with £1m to burn leave island guessing|work=[[The Times]]|date=4 October 1994|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160916114516/http://www.libraryofmu.net/display-resource.php?id=389|archive-date=16 September 2016}}</ref><ref>{{LibraryOfMu|tl=news|mu-id=388|last=McKerron|first=Ian|title=Duo Burn £1M In Midnight Madness|work=[[Daily Express]]|date=1 October 1994|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160916115543/http://www.libraryofmu.net/display-resource.php?id=388|archive-date=16 September 2016}}</ref>

On 23 August 1995, exactly one year after the burning, Drummond and Cauty returned to Jura for the premiere screening of the film,<ref>{{cite news |title=From cash to ash |last=Banks-Smith |first=Nancy |author-link=Nancy Banks-Smith |date=30 August 1995 |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |page=T.009}}</ref> now known as ''[[Watch the K Foundation Burn a Million Quid]]''. The film was then toured around the UK over the next few months (plus one showing in [[Belgrade]]), with a Q&A session at the end of each screening where members of the audience asked Drummond and Cauty why they burnt the money and also offered their own interpretations.<ref>See, for example: {{LibraryOfMu|mu-id=400 |title=Who wants to be a millionaire? |last=Harris |first=John |author-link=John Harris (critic) |date=November 1995 |work=[[Q Magazine]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160916110536/http://www.libraryofmu.net/display-resource.php?id=400 |archive-date=16 September 2016}}</ref>
