Nothing can beat the cosy light of a flickering candle and paired with your favourite scent it makes for pure relaxation.

After making candles as a hobby, for family and friends and for charity events, Sophie developed a passion for candle making. She is always striving to make simple, natural, long-lasting candles that burn clean and scent a room with vibrant fragrances. She loves to combine natural waxes with fine fragrance oils that will give you hours of shimmering light, a lovely scent and a stunning looking candle that will fit any home.

All of The Candle Bothy products are hand-poured in small batches in Dundee on Scotland’s East coast. Initially she started making candles in her kitchen before taking over the ‘spare room’ only to find that she was running out of space very quickly. The Candle Bothy is now based at Double Door Studios in Dundee City Centre

She aims to make products of the highest quality that are long-lasting yet affordable, while being sustainable and environmentally friendly. All of her candles and wax melts are vegan friendly. She chooses minimal packaging to protect her products and all packaging and labelling is either compostable or recyclable.
