And finally… Dog hotel and spa project approved in Aberdeenshire
Plans for the creation of a five-star dog hotel outside an Aberdeenshire village have received the green light.
The Mormond Dog Hotel and Spa project will be built within the grounds of an existing home near Memsie.
The kennels, complete with an outdoor exercise area, underfloor heating and raised beds, are designed to offer accommodation for up to 10 canines.
Six conditions have been set out by Aberdeenshire Council before construction can begin.
These relate to road safety improvements and ensuring the new property has adequate drainage.
