The Story Behind the Design
Deep in the Highlands, where the mist clings to dark waters, lives Scotland’s most enduring legend. Or so the stories say. This engraved design captures a quiet moment of tension: the head and neck of the Loch Ness Monster rising from the surface, gaze turned back toward a nearby boat. It’s subtle, watchful — and open to interpretation. Beneath the design, the Latin name Nessiteras rhombopteryx is engraved, with the familiar Nessie following in script. Whether you believe or simply want to, this glass is a tribute to mystery, imagination, and the myths that refuse to go away.

- Hand-engraved depiction of the Loch Ness Monster surfacing
- Subtle design: Nessie’s head and neck, watching a nearby boat
- Latin name Nessiteras rhombopteryx engraved beneath, followed by Nessie

Perfect For
- Lovers of Scottish folklore, mystery, and legend

About Your Glass
Choose between our classic Signature whisky glass and its Atelier Edition counterpart. The Signature glass is a timeless straight-sided tumbler with a solid base, perfect for neat spirits, short cocktails, or a quiet dram by the fire. The Atelier Edition refines those same qualities with added weight, a bubble base that refracts light beautifully, and a crisper finish. Both are individually masked, sandblasted, and hand-polished in our Fife studio, taking around 30–40 minutes for simple engravings or longer for detailed artwork. The result is a satin-smooth finish designed to last a lifetime of toasts.

Hand wash only in lukewarm water with a mild dishwashing liquid.
Dry immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Avoid abrasives or harsh cleaners to preserve the engraved finish.

Personalisation Guidelines
We include up to 30 characters of complimentary engraving underneath the design (including spaces between words or numbers), ensuring your message sits comfortably and remains legible beneath the artwork.
As part of this service, we’ll send one digital layout preview for approval before engraving begins. Need a little more? No problem, additional characters are charged at 30p each, and any further layout previews are charged at £2.50 each.
We always aim for a layout that balances beautifully and suits the shape of the glass, but final positioning is at the discretion of the studio.
Please note: Complimentary engraving is placed on the same side as the design. For alternative layouts or engraving on the reverse, please contact the studio before placing your order.
A note on returns
Once a piece includes any personalisation (even complimentary characters) it becomes made just for you and is non-returnable unless faulty. Please double-check names, dates and spelling before you confirm.
Delivery & Returns
We carefully pack each order in eco-friendly materials wherever possible. Orders are sent via Royal Mail Tracked delivery, with standard UK delivery typically taking 2–4 working days from dispatch (excluding Sundays and public holidays).
Standard UK Delivery: from £4.50
Our Technique
Our traditional sandblast engraving delivers crisp detail, deep texture, and a tactile satin finish that stands apart from laser or transfer methods. Hand-engraved in our Fife studio using single-use stencils, each piece is prepared, blasted, and polished by hand for exceptional sharpness and permanence.
How it’s done:
- Artwork is refined as a vector for clean, precise lines.
- A UV-exposed stencil is created for single-use masking.
- Stencils and tape are applied to the glass by hand.
- Each piece is sandblasted by hand for depth and detail.
- Finally, it’s cleaned, polished, inspected, and gift-boxed.
A time-honoured process that combines heritage craft with contemporary precision.
A Note on Styling
To showcase the quality of our glassware, some images include bottles, books, or props for styling. These are for context only and are not included. Your purchase is for the glassware only. Unless explicitly stated otherwise (for example, a gift set containing two glasses or a decanter and glasses), each item is sold individually.
