Official source check and reference notes
Publish-ready as of 29 May 2026: address, reception phone, prescription phone, normal opening hours, appointment route, eConsult timing, registration guidance, test-results guidance, interpreter-registration field and official practice links were checked against NHS 24 and official Albyn Medical Practice sources.

Main reference sources used: NHS 24 was used for the official GP listing, address, reception number and normal opening times.
