great staff, great grounds and great kennels. I'd looked at quite a few kennels before choosing Country Boarding but none came close, especially understanding larger breeds of dog. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending. More...

Our Dog Rolo absolutely loves it here. We have been taking him to the puppy training classes on saturday which I think are great, the information and advice provided is top notch. Rolo aslo goes to Puppies in the park and more recently he has had some day sessions on wednesdays. He literally pulls me along to get to the day session area. The staff are really good and it's clear to see they really love dogs and their jobs which is really nice to see. I would have no issues recommending Country Boarding to any of my friends that have a dog. More...

Gilbert has been coming to playdays since January, when he was just 4 months old. He's grown into such a wonderful confident and sociable doggy and playdays and all the team here have most definitely been part of his positive development! The staff are just so wonderful. Gilbert celebrated his 1st birthday on Sunday at the daycare hall with his nearest and dearest doggy daycare pals and he was so happy being at his second home! Gilbert absolutely loves it here and so do we! Thank you so much Playdays for all that you do to make our dogs lives full of love and fun everyday xxx More...

A safe, caring temporary home that our very energetic dog Lola has visited several times each year during her 4 years and will continue to do so because she enjoys it! We would not hesitate to recommend. Knowing she is in such good hands makes leaving her a little easier. More...

I can’t recommend this fantastic facility highly enough. The huge exercise paddock is an amazing space and being fully fenced is completely safe. My dogs go to Play Days twice a week. They have such fun they love going, and we enjoy the benefits of two exhausted 11 months olds. They are exercised, stimulated and get to play no manner of games with their four legged and human buddies. We also use Play Days when out dogs are in Boarding as it we feel it breaks the day up for them. The staff are dedicated, caring, helpful and friendly. You really couldn’t ask for more. More...

AAA Freight Services Ltd contacted Scullion Law in regards to the purchase of our property here in Glasgow. We were introduced with Christine MacNeil who processed our offers very promptly & effectively. Once our offer was accepted we were then introduced with Mohammed Desai who took us through every step of the purchase in absolutely perfect way. We never had to phone or email for an update. He regularly updated us on every move. Great Job Done. We recommend Scullion Law to others when looking to buy or sell any property. Many thanks. More...

Lauren was wonderful to work with. One of the first things I told her was that I hate photos of myself, and she said it was her mission to make me like myself in photos :) She was extremely warm and kind, especially during our engagement shoot when we were very nervous. She walked all over the engagement shoot location with us, and even humored me when I really wanted a photo of my ring on a flower with a bee. She is very down-to-earth and made us feel very comfortable. On our wedding day, I was so excited to see her that people thought she was a friend and not our photographer! She really took her time with my husband and me, and made sure we got plenty of beautiful photos around our venue. She has a great eye for lighting, even though people might try to move her location - she knows what she is doing. Everyone is raving about how beautiful our photos are. She has even been extra responsive and accommodating to make a few tweaks to our sparkler photos. I highly recommend Lauren both as a person and a photographer! Thank you so much! More...

Lauren is wonderful. Not only did she take stunning photos for our engagement and wedding, but she did so in a way that was personable and unique to my husband and I. She made sure to really understand what we wanted in a photographer, and to capture all aspects of our day. She truly is happy to be a part of your wedding day, and makes you feel so comfortable. She is very easy to work with, while also being professional and organized. Definitely recommend! More...

I have a Malamute named Bear who is 8 months old. He has stayed at Country Boarding twice now and he loves it! The staff are so good with him and understand his breed really well. The daycare is outstanding and I can not recommend them highly enough. They really treat each animal like their own and it’s great that the dogs get to play together too. ❤️❤️❤️ More...

My husband and I loved working with Lauren for our engagement and wedding pictures! The quality of the photographs exceeded all of our expectations. Lauren was great at making us feel comfortable and took anything we threw her way (dogs, huge bridal party, crazy family)! We would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a fabulous wedding photographer. More...

Both fiancé and I were very nervous about having our photos taken. Both of us are a little camera shy, but of course on your wedding day it is important to have nice photos to document and cherish the special day. Lauren from start to finish made this process very easy. When we first met up she was very warm and welcoming and it was easy to feel comfortable. She was able to guide us in such a way where it felt natural. This was shown through her work from the engagement photos through the wedding photos. Lauren and her second photographer, Sarah, were both very professional and talented. The photos taken are works of art and it was really difficult narrow down some photos for an album. I highly recommend Lauren. More...
