    The obvious guess is that it is cotoneaster, but somehow I don't think it is. Would be interested to know.

    Looks to be Ugni molinae, very high in vitamin c, is in myrtle family, common name i think is chilean guava, fully edible and has a strawberry flavour. Have few bushes of it myself. Berries grow to about nail size.

    The lingonberry and the Ugni molinae are very similar but going on the pics I think the Ugni molinae is rather more like the original pic. Alt leaves and individual berries rather than sprays.

    Kind of agree, on berry arrangement
