Recently, we had the absolute privilege of framing a truly historic piece of Scottish rugby memorabilia: a match-worn, signed Mizuno rugby boot belonging to Edinburgh, Scotland, and British & Irish Lions winger Duhan van der Merwe. For a massive rugby fan, this is hol

Here at Have it Framed in Edinburgh, we know there is nothing quite as nerve-wracking as hanging a large, heavy piece of art.
