Naturally delighted with this Christmas gift practice director Neil Gillespie stated: “The project has everything - a really interesting and demanding brief and it is located in the North, one of the most inspirational areas of Scotland. There are relatively few projects of this quality at present. We are aware how fortunate we are.''
