Eden Veterinary Practice (at the base of the slip road entrance to the estate) were nominated six times in a row for Practice of the Year in the Petplan Veterinary Awards. The practice’s owner, Ainslie Smith, grew up surrounded by animals on his father’s farm in North-East Fife so is no stranger to creatures both great and small. He has always been interested in veterinary science and caring for animals, saying: “Whenever a vet came to the farm I would follow them everywhere, bombarding them with questions. I loved that they got to work with a variety of animals all day every day and I knew from a young age that that’s what I wanted to do too.” As well as being surrounded by animals as a youngster, Ainslie was a fan of James Herriot, the famous vet who wrote a series of semi-autobiographical books about his experiences. Ainslie adds: “I started my own business to apply the ‘James Herriot ethos’ to caring for animals. I wanted to offer a friendly, local practice that offered approachable, professional care for all animals including cats and dogs, horses and cattle, and everything in between.” When Ainslie established the practice in 2003, he was the only vet and was supported by two part time receptionists. Since then, Eden has gone from strength-to-strength. Today, they have five full time vets – as well as a team of nurses and receptionists – to deal with the demand for their experience, be it for small animals in house or for large animal on the road.
