Plant ID - Tiny White Bell Flowers

I'm looking to identify a plant I saw today. I don't have a photo, but I'll go back and get one if this description doesn't prove sufficient.

It was a little creeping thing with deep been leaves and tiny while longish bell-shaped flowers. In full flower right now.

Thanks for any suggestions!

    You could look at images of the winter flowering heathers. If not, I'd need a photo

    Thanks. Pretty sure it's not a heather. I'll have another look next weekend. I doubt I'll be home in the light before then.

    I have Gaultherias procumbens which have tiny white bell flowers - similar to a  Pieris. They become red berries at this time of year but I still have a few flowers on some of them. Try looking that up and see if it's similar at all. image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Thanks all.

    It's definitely neither of those though. I'll post pics soon!
