Highland Park’s low-emission mission

The doors have been opened on a refreshed and decarbonised distillery, after an 11-month closure at Highland Park.

As Orkney experiences its usual summer boom of visitors, they and locals alike can once again enjoy a tour and a tipple with the world-famous whisky producer.

They can do so in the knowledge that Highland Park has set its sights on a reduction of 20 per cent in its direct carbon emissions, thanks to an overhaul of how it produces its renowned malts.
