standing connection with Aberdeen Wanderers RFC. Mervyn
Drever, a recently retired partner of the practice spent many
years playing predominantly in the number 8 position while
latterly his rugby was with a whistle connected to Aberdeen
Wanderers as their attachment referee.
The present director’s son, George Hunter, started his rugby
career also at Aberdeen Wanderers RFC before being
selected by the SRU for their elite development program.
He captained Scotland under-20 throughout much of 2011,
and has also seen national service at under-17 and under-19
level. He made his European Champions Cup debut for
Glasgow Warriors against Castres Olympique in December
2012.
Ardene House Veterinary practice has a surgery situated
between Westhill and Kingswells, on the western outskirts of
Aberdeen, and a second branch surgery in Bridge of Don.
