Bonnie Glow: Scents of Scotland
Tam O' Shanter
With the changing of the season, Bonnie Glow pays tribute to Robbie Burns epic poem, Tam O' Shanter. The drunken Ayrshire farmer reaps what he sows when he cat calls a witch dancing with her coven. It turns oot, woman in the 18th century didn't like cat calling either. Who'd have thunk it?Notes of Sandalwood, Saffron, Cedarwood, Amber, Clove, Vanilla and Musk. This is the must have candle to celebrate the veil getting thinner and the nights fair drawin' in🍂🍁🎃🧹

Let customers speak for us
Looking for a wax related gift for our 16th Wedding Anniversary, so scented candles were the obvious choice.
Wanted to find something unique and I found Bonnie Glow!
Wife absolutely loves the set. The scents are Scottish themed and smell incredible.
They are presented in lovely copper tins, size wise they are approx half a can of juice, so not overly bulky.
Will definitely be ordering again.
Thanks again.
Wow! Got these for my wife as an anniversary gift (16years is wax apparently).
Beautifully presented, very well packaged.
The scents are incredible and we haven’t even lit them yet.
My wife absolutely loves them.
Thank you so much.
Absolutely loved lasting smell even after put out
Best Christmas Tree smelling candle in existence- tried many and they all smell like fake pine. This is honestly indistinguishable from a real tree. I ended up buying 5 for the Christmas period so I can have them on all through December / January. Makes me feel better about my fake tree!
I bought 4 candles at Portobello Farmers' Market. Really love the amazing scents and evocative names. Lovely for gifts. Definitely recommend and will buy again. ♥️
The Mairi’s wedding candle is utterly divine
I bought several Bonnie glow candles on my visit to Scotland as Xmas gifts after trying two I purchased for myself.
They are very good quality candles with locally sourced production materials.
A variety of scents are available as well as wax melts, and even merchandise such as t shirts!
My two scents are 'lang may yer lum reek' and 'nessie' which are very different and produce excellent aromas which have around 30 hours burn time!
A summer and winter range is on offer as well as a recent Halloween one, and soon to be Xmas range.
There's also an lgbtq+ candle called 'be yersel'' which donates a portion to a dedicated fundraising cause.
Would definitely recommend you try these as they put the more famous brands to shame!
Dreich had a very appealing scent, & the name amused me! Packaging was really good & arrived quickly. Will be great Christmas presents, thank you
Lovely smell burns well
Gorgeous scent. I ❤️ all the Bonnie Glow candles and these new fragrances are fantastic.
Wee Bit Hill and Glen is such an evocative scent. Highly fragranced with a lovely clean burn ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I purchased Granny’s Rhubarb crumble.
Amazing! I love the smell in my kitchen, it’s super warming and very comforting!
The candle burn lift is really good, compared to some big brand candles it’s a winner.
It was packaged beautifully and arrived quickly!
I’ve just bought two more to give as gifts!
I now have three Bonnie Glow candles - Mairi’s wedding, A Wee Dram and Granny’s Rhubarb Crumble. I’m very impressed with all three. There isn’t a whiff of artificial scents in any of them and they’re more complex blends than I expected. I’ve had Mairis wedding the longest and burn it for long periods and it has lasted so well! I think it’ll burn longer than the thirty hours it states. My whole house smells lovely now. Will buy again and have duplicates I’ve given out for house warming/last minute gifts.
I bought this candle as a gift for someone who is transitioning. I absolutely love the scent. It is so vibrant and fresh. I love the ethics behind the brand. Will definitely buy more!
I highly recommend Bonnie Glow candles. I got two and they came really quickly, beautifully wrapped and boxed. The packaging is lovely and they smell amazing! I definitely want to try the other two scents now. Love them 💖
I can highly recommend these candles they smell amazing and have a very long burn time. Will definitely be ordering more well done Emily.
MEET THE GAFFER
A very warm Scottish welcome! I'm Emily, heid honcho at Bonnie Glow.
Scotland is so much more than bagpipes and misty hills. It's dreich Mondays, wee local sayings, the sight of men whipping their Taps Aff as soon as there's a glimmer of sunshine and Granny's rhubarb crumble on a cauld Sunday. That's the real Scotland — and that's what we bottle. Well, tin!
Every Bonnie Glow candle smells incredible lit or no and is made from completely sustainable, plant based RCX wax. It's paraffin free and includes nothing else but coconut oil and rapeseed oil. Our beautiful rose gold tins are made to last. Because we love this planet as much as we love Scotland — return your empty tin and we'll upcycle it and give you 10% off your next order. All our packaging is recycled or upcycled too. Ya wee dancer!
As we say in Scotland — many a mickle maks a muckle. Small choices, big difference.
