Has tiny pointy leaves and red berries. Some kind of holly maybe?

Apologies, I can't get the pics to show so here's the links to them

Looks like Gaultheria. (Wintergreen)
Crush a leaf and smell it should confirm it.

I'd go Pernettya rather than Gaultheria...

Based on the shape of leaves and berries (although I think the two are related).

Thanks xcmtb but it doesn't match the pics online of that. The leaves on mine have a tiny spike at the end whereas those gaultheria leaves are a bit more rounded at the tip. Also the leaves don't smell of anything other than leaves.

Any other ideas?
