A visit to the vet was the treat in store for Linlithgow and District 41 Club members on Wednesday 3 April. Stuart McMorrow, Company Director and Veterinary Surgeon had invited the group to visit his ‘West Port Vets’ at the premises in Mill Road Industrial Estate, Linlithgow Bridge. The first thing to impress the group was how modern and spacious the premises were. Once inside, Stuart gave the group a tour of the facilities which included dedicated dog and cat wards with spacious recovery kennels and an ultra modern cat recovery area. Stuart has invested heavily in high-tech equipment including digital x-ray cameras, endoscopes, ultrasound machinery as well as a full sterile theatre with specialist surgical and orthopaedic operating kit. Although obviously proud to show us the facilities on offer, he wanted to point out that the thing that made the business different and successful was the quality of the team around him and that he couldn’t do it without them! Asked if he wanted the business to grow bigger, (he already has a clinic in Queensferry and one in Edinburgh) he said “No”, he was not a businessman as such and he was happy to do his independent ‘Vet thing’ to the highest standards locally. Stuart accompanied the 41 Club members to Linlithgow Golf Club for dinner where a vote of thanks was given by James McCallum who thanked him for an informative, interesting and entertaining visit to the clinic.
