Recommendations in or near Edinburgh?

After a year of talking about it and watching Autotrader almost constantly, I finally bought a Volvo at the weekend. Its a W reg V70 2.4 140 with leather and loads of toys and I love it! It was absolutely filthy and took 2 of us 4 hours to clean and now it sparkles.
It's desperately in need of a service at 120k miles. The last documented service was at 93731 miles (full Volvo history til then), when it had the timing belt and tensioner done. I'm assuming it's missed the 102k as there's no evidence, or it's at least overdue the 114k.
1 - any recommendations what I should have done extra on this service if we assume it missed 102k miles?
2 - any local independants in or around Edinburgh?
Thanks!

go to the menu on the top left of the home page, click on technical, then non franchised garages, this will give a list of independants.

For many years now I have used the services of The MacKinnon Motor Company in Clockmill Lane, Meadowbank.
