Any supermarket should have it.
it should be in the frozen foods section.
Most supermarkets only stock it at Christmas (not sure about Tesco) but I got some a few weeks ago in Mackays grocer shop beside the Bistro, Thurso, think they normally stock it and it is under £2.

I am sure I saw some in the freezer cabinets in Tesco
I have bought it in the fridge section and in the freezer section of sommerfield.
The last time I was in Tesco (Wick) they had it in the Dairy Section.
it was on the shelf not in the freezer.

Also in Wick Co-op above the yoghurts etc.
Tesco too had it in the same area.

I bought some last week from Tesco - was in the freezer... but that's Dingwall all over for you - cold!

Filo pastry is the greatest fun to make - really strudel pastry -
Here it is :
1/2 lb flour
tsp lemon juice
1/2 oz butter
pinch salt
Enough warm water to make a soft dough (about 1/4 pint)
work butter into flour - add water as above, with lemon juice
Bash it around, as for bread, until it becomes very elastic -(a German friend tells me the rule is to whack it 100 times off the table!) Used to make my bairns count for me - terrible noises, and the neighbours will hate you!
Sprinkle the resulting dough with flour and leave in a warm place for 1/2 hour.
Now the fun bit - roll it out as thinly as you can, then begin the pulling, beginning from the centre, with your floured hands under the dough. You should (theoretically) be able to read a newspaper through it. This will cover your entire kitchen table! Try not to make holes, but a few small ones don't matter.
Roll it up with apple/lemon/cinnamon/wahtever (I pre-cook all that), buttering the pastry surface well as you go - wonderful! - cream cheese and poppy seeds is another standard filling.
Otherwise you can roll it up around a cardboard tube covered in cling film and use it for anything you like, but it is better used at once.

I'm more nosy as to what you are making with that delicate mess
