University of the Highlands and Islands Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the distinguished Coat of Arms of the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) in Scotland. The design is a symbolic representation of the university's identity, heritage, and its location within the Scottish Highlands and Islands.

Key Visual Elements and Their Meanings

The central element of the design is the compass rose, prominently featuring a fleur-de-lys, marking the direction of north. This subtly yet powerfully represents UHI's northern location. It grounds the university in its geographical context, placing the viewer in the heart of the Highlands and Islands.

Two open books are depicted, symbols of learning and scholarship. This directly reflects the university's core mission: education and the pursuit of knowledge. The books are a visual reminder of the intellectual environment and the importance of academic endeavor.

Thirteen hazel leaves are thoughtfully incorporated, representing the network of thirteen partner institutions that make up UHI. Beyond this, the hazel tree is an evocative symbol of wisdom, both in Celtic and Norse traditions, imbuing the design with cultural depth and historical significance.

Finally, the design emphasizes the importance of a hazel tree, a symbol of wisdom and nature central to the culture of the Scottish Highlands and Islands. This element reinforces the connection to both the landscape and the cultural identity of the region, aligning with UHI's deep roots and community focus.

The overall composition is intended to reflect the ethos of UHI, combining geographical specificity, academic values, and cultural heritage into a unified and meaningful design.

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.
