University of the Highlands and Islands Coat of Arms T-Shirt
This t-shirt proudly displays the official coat of arms of the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) in Scotland. The design is a symbolic representation of the university's location, educational mission, and cultural heritage.
Design Elements and Symbolism
At the heart of the design, a compass rose is prominently featured, with a fleur-de-lys marking north, highlighting UHI's geographical location in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. This directional symbol anchors the design, grounding it in the unique landscape and setting of the university.
Flanking the compass rose, two open books symbolize the core educational mission of the university, representing learning, scholarship, and the pursuit of knowledge. They signify a commitment to academic excellence and intellectual exploration.
The design also incorporates thirteen hazel leaves, which represent the university's network of thirteen partner institutions. Beyond their numerical significance, hazel leaves carry symbolic weight, representing wisdom and knowledge, drawing upon the rich traditions of both Celtic and Norse cultures.
Finally, a stylised hazel tree or elements of it is included, further reinforcing the themes of wisdom and connection to nature. Hazel trees are deeply rooted in the cultural history of the Highlands and Islands, symbolising both the academic and environmental focus of the university.
