Medal Design for Scottish Rowing Championships

The silver coloured medal and wide white ribbon combine to form a Saltire or St. Andrew’s cross, a national symbol. Hanging around the medalist’s neck, the medal and its wearer combine to form a Scottish flag. The design is a break away from traditional round medal shapes. The assymmetrical form with its oar-shaped cutout makes the medal unique and instantly recognisable as a Scottish Rowing trophy.

Ribbon is threaded through oar-shaped cutout
