New Trophy for Scottish Open

It was unveiled in the Scottish Capital by Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond.

Designed by Edinburgh-based Hamilton and Inches, the trophy is a traditional Scottish Quaich - a historic symbol of Scottish welcome and hospitality.

"Scotland is known worldwide as the home of golf, and the Barclays Scottish Open is another chance to showcase some of the best of Scotland to the rest of the world," said Salmond.

"The eyes of millions of golf fans across the globe will be on the tournament's new home at Castle Stuart as some of the game's top names compete on this spectacular course."
