Arms of Scottish Borders Area Council (Scotland) Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass showcases the striking coat of arms of the Scottish Borders Area Council. The central focus is the shield, or escutcheon, a vibrant representation of the region's heritage and identity.

The Shield's Elements

The shield itself is a rich blue (azure) upon which a prominent silver/white (argent) Saint Andrew's cross (saltire) is emblazoned, signifying Scotland's national connection. At the heart of the shield, an inescutcheon, a smaller red (gules) shield edged with gold (or), draws the eye. Four wavy silver (argent) bars traverse the red inescutcheon, symbolizing the River Tweed, a vital element of the region's landscape and history.

Above these wavy bars, a salmon, rendered in its natural colors, leaps, representing the significant fishing heritage of the Borders. Below the bars, a ram's head, facing forward, also in its natural colors, signifies the importance of wool production and agricultural history in the area.

The shield's border (bordure) is designed in a counter-compony style, with alternating segments of blue (azure) and silver (argent) mirroring the colors of the Saint Andrew's cross.

Supporters and Coronet

On either side of the shield stand the supporters. On the left (dexter) side, a "Border knight" in full armour, holding a spear, evokes the martial history of the Border region. On the right (sinister) stands a silver unicorn (argent), a symbol of Scottish heraldry, with gold (or) mane, horn, and hooves, wearing a red collar (gules) bearing a blue (azure) badge with a silver saltire.

Crowning the shield is a coronet appropriate to a statutory Area Council. This coronet features a circlet adorned with golden vertical stakes and sheaves of wheat, banded in black (sable).

Symbolism and Meaning

The design skillfully blends national symbolism (the saltire, the unicorn) with regional history and local heritage. It is a striking visual representation of the Scottish Borders, encapsulating its rich past and its enduring identity.

Clear 16 oz (β‰ˆ0.47 L) pint glasses made from solid glass with a heavy base for steady placement. Narrower at the bottom for an easier grip and balanced feel β€” durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside β€” color, clarity and carbonation are all visible. A heavier, solid base reduces tipping and gives the glass a satisfying weight in the hand while the gently tapered body makes holding and carrying more comfortable.

Built to last, the construction resists chipping under normal use and is suitable for busy service environments as well as retail display. One-sided print work reads bright against the clear surface; the overall aesthetic is clean and modern.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and gloss.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint / β‰ˆ0.47 L).
  • Base: heavy solid glass base reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Shape: narrower bottom for a comfortable grip and easier carrying.
  • Durability: dishwasher-safe and built for regular use.

Use these glasses for draft pours, mixed drinks, iced beverages and more. Their clear walls show off color and bubbles, which makes them a great choice for menus, tasting flights, and bars where presentation matters.

  1. Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
  2. Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
  3. Display: clean silhouette fits behind bars, on shelves, or on retail racks.

Quick tip: because the base is heavier, these glasses feel stable on trays and counters β€” handy when serving multiple drinks at once.

These glasses are dishwasher-safe; place them on the top rack and use a regular household cycle. For best longevity, avoid stacking them tightly and steer clear of high-heat commercial wash cycles when possible.

Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap when you want to preserve maximum clarity and avoid sudden temperature shocks. Handle by the body, not just the rim, to reduce the chance of accidental chipping.
