Story · Scapa Distillery

  • en
  • nl

You're standing at Scapa distillery, on Mainland, the main island of Orkney. Look out across the water in front of you. That's Scapa Flow, the huge natural harbour sheltered by the islands. The distillery sits right on the shore, close to the town of Kirkwall. It's one of the northernmost whisky distilleries in Scotland, with only two others further north. One of those neighbours is almost within sight: Highland Park is only about half a mile away.
