Although not the largest tinned candle, McKelvie tins give you market leading burn times of around 50 hours each, although in independent consumer tests correctly burned candles have achieved over 60 hours of use! So they help to enhance the ambience of candlelight longer than others by around 20 hours extra.
Although small in size, they are most definitely BIG in fragrance. McKelvie tins are also designed with a small indent on the top of the lid to allow you to sit the tin on top… just to make double sure your surfaces are protected.

After a disappointing hunt in a few retailers, I accepted that I wasn’t going to find any more of the lovely McKelvie Candles. I contacted the company by e-mail and I am over the moon to find that I can now buy on line ! These candles are so lovely, and many scents bring back memories of childhood long gone, and to buy three for £25 was such a bargain. I feel also that the p&p charged is SO reasonable, I will certainly buy more. A wee tip of mine, is, I often take a McKelvie Candle instead of flowers when visiting friends, so much nicer and lasts so much longer !!

Love this wee shop. Such lovely helpful friendly service. The candles burn for ever and leave no trace in the tin. Not like Yankee that leave you with wax up the sides of the jar. The melts are to die for. No nasty fumes. Safe for people with lung problems. The room sprays are delightful. I spray inside my wardrobe and love the scent on my clothes. I have one of the gorgeous lamps for my melts. Thankyou

I stumbled upon these candles at a small shop in the Isle of Seil, and was instantly smitten by their smell. I bought two to try, but unfortunately my sister-in-law kept one.
Just like one of the reviews above I struggled to find the range locally, so I contacted McKelvie directly.
The reply was prompt, and the passion and high standards were obvious from the reply. They pointed me in A Scents of Scotland direction, where I got excellent customer service and very reasonable prices.
Specifically speaking about McKelvie Candles, the smell is long lasting and strong without being overpowering. They are far from being the cheap synthetic stuff you come across at most gift shops.
The fact that they are perfumers by trade is evident in the quality of the product, and I refuse to buy any other candle. I find them better than the Jo Malone ones in terms of power and longevity, and the scents have a heart and history, so you’re buying more than a candle, or a melt, or a spray: you’re buying history, tradition and loving memories.
