John qualified from Glasgow University Vet School in 1988 and after working in Staffordshire for Eddie Straiton (the original TV vet), he joined the Duncan, Masson & Robertson partnership in 1990.  After a years sabbatical in Dairy practice in New Zealand, John returned to Nairn to join the business in 1996 and is the last remaining partner from this period.

He lives in Nairn with his wife Ruathy and three young children Katie, Struan and Murray.

John’s passion lies in doing clinical work, with his time divided between large animal work and increasingly with the companion animal side of the practice. His interests are in all aspects of medicine and surgery but mainly soft tissue surgery.

When he’s not spending time with his family his main interests are golf, running and playing the accordion.

He is based at the Nairn surgery.
