Distillery History
Records show that a illicit still was established in the area in the 1790’s by Magnus Eunson who was linked to illicit distilling and smuggling in the area.

Robert Borwick, a Kirkwall merchant, in 1825 decided to set up his distillery in the same area that was by then known as Highland Park. The property belonged to a John Robertson, the Excise Officer who had arrested Magnus Eunson some years earlier.

The land was served by two strong springs of crystal clear water fed by a pool at Cattie Maggie's at Greenvale. On 18 August 1826, he acquired the land rights together with the distillery, malt barn, and 'whole other buildings' from John Robertson.

Highland Park has always been a prized whisky. The Glasgow firm of wine and spirit merchants Robertson & Baxter, bought their first consignment of Highland Park whisky in 1879. Pleased with the result, they took nearly 14,500 gallons in 1881/2, and in the following year just over 19,000 gallons, this represented nearly fifty percent of total output at the time.

In 1895 ownership passed to James Grant who increased the stills from 2 to 4 in 1898.

1935 Highland Park was acquired by Highland Distillers Co Ltd.

Located on the southern edge of the town of Kirkwall Highland Park is the most northerly distillery in Scotland. The distillery still cuts its own peat, which it uses in its traditional floor malting of the barley on its premises.
