Ask for Hyacinthoides non-scripta, syn. Endymion non-scriptus, Scilla non-scripta. Those are varied names for it and you cannot go wrong if they are provided to your nursery. Avoid the Spanish one which is oddly mixed up with it.
The Scottish flower is a form of Campanula, or harebell. They are not the same breed.
Here is a link to a possible source. They could give you information on where to get plants if you ask them

They will be out soon so try the local larger garden centres. English bluebells grow well from bulbs not planted in the green. There are lots of bulb growers on the internet.

Hi Coolshoc Have a look at the advertisements in the back of Gardening Weekly or Amateur Gardening magazine from your newsagent. They normally have adverts to buy Snowdrops, English Bluebells in the green. Cheers

Try Gardensupplydirect.co.uk but it may be worth reading the RHS write up on www.rhs.org.uk/Learning/publications/pubs/garden1003/newsgeneral.asp as this warns against people supplying the spanish bluebell.
