There's another post about Scottish coaches somewhere on the Forum.
Don't know any in Dundee area but in the Central belt there's Jim Donnelly in Glasgow and Stevie Baillie in Lanarkshire. ( Stevie posts on this Forum sometimes). In Edinburgh we've got Craig MacGillivary at The Locarno snooker club in Slateford Road.
Personally I used Jim Donnelly because he was a fellow left-hander and was recommended by Terry Davidson who is a regular poster on this Forum and always gives good advice.

Cheers bud, ill look up Stevie Baillie or Craig MacGillivary, jut caus im right handed! Dont mind the travel, i work offshore so ill be sitting on my backside doing nothing for two weeks at a time so it wil be a good excuse to get out the hosue

Any idea what sort of rate they charge?

[Bigmeek]

Not exactly sure of Craig's rates but I'll ask next time I see him. Probably around £20 for an hour.
Stevie's website says £30/ph for one-to-one. Here's a link to his website. http://www.thistlesnookeracademy.co.uk/rates.html
For info Jim Donnelly was the first Scot to make it through to The Crucible in 1982 losing 10-5 to Ray Reardon and he actually provided coaching to Stevie Baillie. Jim's charges are a bit dearer at £35/ph. He coaches at the The Q Club. End of Sauchiehall St.
Would be a nice day out to either Glasgow OR Edinburgh. Few pints on the way home!!
PS Don't suppose you work in the Beryl fileld by any chance? I'm ex Mobil guy.
