The Story Behind the Design
A typographic engraved whisky glass featuring the Scots expression "Am back oan it", together with its phonetic pronunciation and meaning.
Some expressions need very little explanation. "Am back oan it" is the unmistakable declaration that normal service has resumed.
Presented as a simple typographic study, the engraving pairs the original Scots phrase with its pronunciation and a concise definition. Rather than illustrating the moment, the design allows the language to stand on its own, celebrating the humour, confidence and directness that make Scots such a distinctive spoken language.
Whether it marks the end of Dry January, the first dram after a long week, or simply another evening among friends, it's a phrase recognised across Scotland with an immediate smile.
The engraving is centred and spaced to maintain balance within the available engraving area.

A short personal inscription may be included with this design. Each engraving is arranged in the studio to suit the composition of the glass.
