Vikings described a haven that grew over centuries to become Orkney’s bustling capital, Kirkwall.

A local Viking legend spoke of a variety of Angelica brought to the islands centuries ago.

It can be found growing wild.

It comes as no surprise that they have included this as a main botanical in their gin.
