Yet, for several reasons, some feel that the scans provided by the NHS are not sufficient enough to document and optimise this unique moment. Whether future parents want a more in-depth experience, desire to share the special moment with more family and friends, or are simply looking for additional reassurance, Baby Scan Studios in Clydebank offer much more than a faint ultrasound print.

Although The Round O is a relatively new venture for Stuart and Lindsay, the couple are certainly no strangers to the chippy trade. In 1988, Stuart followed in family footsteps, and purchased the North Street Chip Shop in Forfar. He later became Scottish Regional Director of the NFFF (National Federation of Fish Friers), and runs several of their initiatives in his business. Before the grand re-opening of the Round O in April, the shop underwent a three-week refurbishment and modernisation process.
Director of Evolution Strength, Jimmy Hayns, first stepped foot in the gym at the age of 16 and hasn’t looked back since. Realising a dream almost a decade old, he took the plunge and opened a strength and bodybuilding gym on Oswestry high street.

Whether they’re off to university, moving in with a partner, or simply want to give their old mum and dad a bit of well-deserved peace (yeah, right!), it’s never easy when the time comes to let your not-so-little ones flee the nest. As well as learning to focus on the bright side (a smaller washing pile, a fuller fridge…) knowing they’re in a clean, comfortable and safe environment helps to give you that extra peace of mind. This was something that David Thorpe experienced for the first time when taking his son to university.
