By Ross McKenzie, founder Nera Luxury Candles
Urban Bay, an independent gift shop in Stonehaven, has just become the first North East stockist of Nera Luxury Candles, a Scottish brand I founded to help raise awareness of addiction, trauma, and mental health.
Each candle in our Recovery Collection is inspired by my own lived experience and created to offer comfort, connection and hope, through scent and storytelling. And now, for the first time, people in the North East can experience the collection in person.
Here’s a bit more about the story behind Nera and my journey from addiction to full rehabilitation at the San Patrignano community in Italy:

With Nera, you are not just acquiring a candle; you are participating in a narrative of personal triumph and Scottish resilience. May these candles illuminate your space with the essence of hope, strength, and the unwavering spirit that defines our journey.
I will be delivering Urban Bay’s first order personally next week.
Warm Regards,
Ross McKenzie
