Hello. I have a question about using the names of real products and companies in a fictional story I am writing. It is based in England and Scotland and all the characters are purely fictional, but to add a touch of reality I'd like to add some real references, some of which include; The Caledonian Sleeper (train), Pot Noodles, Land Rover, Raleigh bicycles, Dalwhinnie Distillery, Fort George (Historic Scotland). Do I need to seek permission? Are the names protected? Or can I just add them to the story without asking? Thank you in advance for your replies. ANDY
I’m exploring whether there might be interest in using my holiday let in the seaside town of Tywyn, West Wales, at the foot of Snowdonia National Park, for a month-long winter stay.
It’s perfect for anyone looking for a quiet place to work, find inspiration, rest, reset, or just a change of scenery.
The house is a large Victorian terrace with:
5 bedrooms,
Central to the town, train station and short walk from the beach,
