Craftsmanship and Materials
The frame is constructed to the highest standard, featuring a foil-printed mount bearing the Heriot-Watt University name — a refined finishing touch that anchors the photograph within its academic context. The mount is produced on acid-free mount card, essential for archival preservation, ensuring that neither the mount nor your photograph will yellow or degrade over time. The glazing is anti-glare styrene, which reduces the damaging effects of UV light whilst keeping your image clearly and beautifully visible. The frame arrives fully assembled and ready to hang or stand, complete with all necessary fittings.

-
Black and Gold — a classic, timeless combination that lends a formal, prestigious feel
-
Teak and Gold — warm, rich tones that bring a traditional and distinguished character

Contemporary — a clean, modern style suited to more minimal or contemporary interiors
The mount colour has been specifically selected to complement Heriot-Watt University’s colours, ensuring the finished piece presents a cohesive and considered look.
A University Steeped in History
Heriot-Watt University holds a truly remarkable place in the history of education. Founded in 1821 as the School of Arts of Edinburgh, it is recognised as the world’s first mechanics’ institute — a pioneering institution established to bring practical scientific education to working people at a time when such access was virtually unheard of. It is the eighth-oldest higher education institution in the United Kingdom, and takes its name from two towering figures: James Watt, the Scottish engineer and inventor whose improvements to the steam engine helped drive the Industrial Revolution, and George Heriot, the Scottish goldsmith and philanthropist who funded the education of Edinburgh’s poor. From 1869, the university became a trailblazer once again by admitting women to all classes — decades ahead of many of its peers. Today, Heriot-Watt has campuses not only in Edinburgh but also in the Scottish Borders, Orkney, Dubai, and Malaysia, cementing its status as a truly global institution.
The Perfect Gift for a Graduate
This photo frame makes a fantastic addition to a matching ProFrameCo framed certificate, creating a beautifully co-ordinated graduation display. It also makes a wonderful gift idea — perhaps a present from parents or other family members to mark this proud milestone, or equally a thoughtful purchase for other relatives to gift to the graduate, to sit alongside their matching framed certificate. Whether bought as part of a set or as a standalone keepsake, it is a gift that will be treasured for years to come.
