Avon's biggest selling product in Scotland by miles. If you're coming up in summer, be warned they can ruin your trip so see your Avon lady! She can probably do you a deal on a pair of Azaro's at the same time.

In Scotland it would be more than that. Scotland has so much weather it's not able to have it one at a time, so you'll often find it's raining, hailing, foggy and sunny at the same time.
