Pet Vets

Ainslie and Honey

As a local boy born and bred in Fife I attended Bell Baxter High school, Cupar before I qualified from the Royal Dick Veterinary School in 1998.

After qualifying I worked for 2 years in a mixed practice in Wick. I then did locum work in practices in Wales, Derbyshire and Cumbria that treated farm animals, pets and horses.

In 2003 I decided to return to my home town to set up Eden Veterinary Practice. I am married to Alex who is also a vet. My hobbies are watching the Howe of Fife Rugby team and helping my brother on the farm especially breeding pedigree Simmental cattle. Any free time is spent walking our very energetic dog Honey.

Honey was bred by my sister-in-law and was given to us at 8 weeks old. My children enjoy helping to train her adn she has become a much loved member of the family.

Neema

After graduating from the Veterinary University of Hannover, Germany in spring 2019 and seeing mixed practice in both Northern Ireland and Germany, I decided to settle in beautiful Scotland. Though farm animal medicine is my greatest passion, I very much enjoy the variety of mixed practice I get to experience every day here at Eden Vets.
Outside of work I like exploring the nature and landscapes, the best of which Scotland has to offer, ending the day around a table with friends.

Katie

I am originally from Dumfries and qualified from Glasgow University in 2020 before deciding to try the East coast out for size. I really enjoy the variety mixed practice has to offer and it is certainly living up to all my grandpa’s great stories of his time as a mixed vet. I also have a particular interest in pathology and its role in first opinion practice. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with friends and family, going for dog walks to the beach and forests and travelling whenever I can.

Sophie

I am originally from Dundee However I graduated from the university of Liverpool this year (2022).  After spending a month at an equine hospital in South Africa, I started work at Eden Vets.

I have a strong interest in equine practice but also enjoy small animal surgery and farm work which is why I chose to be a mixed vet.

In my spare time I enjoy show jumping and spending time at the yard with my friends.

Ailidh

I graduated from the university of Liverpool in summer 2022. I am originally form Glasgow, and decided to come back up North after graduation. I enjoy the variety that a mixed practice brings and I especially love being able to get out and about in the countryside.

Outside of work, I enjoy hillwalking with my dogs and horse riding.

Gavin

I grew up in Cupar and attended Bell Baxter High School.  I studied veterinary medicine at Edinburgh and Ontario colleges.

I have thirty years of experience working in private, charity and emergency small animal practice.

Outside of work I am interested in history and I am also a qualified mountain guide.  Having climbed all of Scotland’s mountains, I am more likely to be found long distance walking these days, aiming for distance rather than height!

Jennifer

My name is Jennifer, I qualified at Glasgow vet school.  I particularly enjoy all surgery whether it be on a cow or a ferret but love being outdoors on a farm.

The bouncy yellow lab behind the reception counter belongs to me, her name is Bee.

When am not at work you’ll find me on long walks with Bee, visiting friends and family or riding my horse.
