Does anyone know if any of the Scottish Universities (or anywhere else in Scotland) offer a service similar to this one at London Metropolitan Uni?

I know a couple of (very very good) runners who've had VO2 Max tests here and really rate it.

Thanks MikeR and Duchess. The Hampden one looks good, if a bit expensive, but definitely worth exploring. Will trawl the uni sites too first to see if any of them offer similar services.
