Watching EastEnders will also be of help, but you could look here:

Good luck to you but my list of things I want to achieve prior to making soap is rather long.

I've not done for years but I did pick up a book - Soaps (Cozy) that looked pretty good. I also picked up the Bath Bombs (Cozy) too, I might have to dig them out now.

Won't you risk being burned/drowned as a witch bringing soap to Scotland? You might just get away with Buckfast flavoured shower gel. Good luck with it anyway, I eagerly await reading your story in the news.

I was the owner of a Soap and Bath Bomb Factory.
I started selling the stuff on a market stall and eventually started making my own. This grew over several years starting from my garage to a 3000sq ft factory.
I used melt & pour soap and designed and built a Bath Bomb machine that could press thousands of Bombs per day.
I sold direct to shops but then also to distributors and abroad, I was then approached by the largest gift wholesaler in Europe to buy me out including equipment and more importantly knowledge. So I know a fair bit of melt & pour soap making.

I never went down the lines of hot & cold process soap.

This is the sort of stuff I designed and made:
