About us
Veterinary Specialists Scotland is a newly established and rapidly expanding, purpose-built, multi-disciplinary referral centre in the heart of Scotland. Based in Livingston, just 20 minutes away from Edinburgh, 40 minutes from Glasgow and 15 minutes from the Edinburgh International Airport, it allows for easy access to cities, or for an escape to the hills and sea.
Since opening in October 2020, we have expanded from 8 to 17 specialists and residency-trained clinicians across seven clinical disciplines. These include soft tissue, orthopaedics, neurology, internal medicine, emergency and critical care, cardiology, dermatology, and anaesthesia and analgesia. Our hospital is well-equipped with the best technology and equipment including MRI, CT, digital radiography, fluoroscopy, endoscopy and advanced diathermy, and our building has huge potential for future expansion.
