Coat of Arms of the Burgh of Bearsden Shot Glass

This shot glass showcases the historic Coat of Arms of the Burgh of Bearsden, used from 1959 to 1975. The design is a vibrant representation of the town's history, heritage, and civic pride.

Shield Design

The central element is the shield, its background a rich gold ("Or") field, inspired by the arms of Clan Campbell of Succoth. Across the gold field runs a bold black, "engrailed" diagonal stripe ("bend engrailed"), taken from the arms of Clan Colquhoun. This stripe, along with the accompanying buckle (not explicitly present on this product), signifies the three significant estates that shaped the town's development.

In the upper portion of the shield, known as the "chief", a delicate rose blooms, borrowed from the arms of the House of Lennox, linking Bearsden to its broader regional heritage of Dunbartonshire.

"Canting" Element

The lower portion features a striking "canting" element - a bear's head, muzzled and cleanly cut off at the neck. This visual play, common in heraldry, is a direct pun on the town's name, "Bearsden," representing a bear looking into its "den." The bear is depicted in a traditional heraldic style.

Crest & Motto

The arms are also topped with a mural coronet, the typical crown for a Scottish town. Below the shield, the motto "Bear the Gree" is displayed. This phrase, meaning "hold or win first place", signifies the town's ambition.

Overall Meaning

The design cleverly weaves together historical, geographical, and linguistic symbolism. The gold and black elements pay tribute to influential landowners. The rose anchors the burgh within its regional identity. The bear-in-a-den cleverly references the town's name. Together, these elements capture Bearsden's unique heritage in an iconic and visually compelling symbol.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

They’re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml) — standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning — place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
