Highland Park
Learn about the whiskies, their history, and year-round tours at a distillery that has been in operation (both illegally and legally) since 1798. Highland Park is owned by the Edrington Group, which is 100% controlled by a charitable trust that supports medical clinics, centers for the elderly and the homeless, and other public services. (The company's motto could be "Sip and save a sailor," because the Royal National Lifeboat Institution is a major beneficiary.)

VisitOrkney
Orkney's official tourism site has information on island hopping, places to stay, eating and drinking, reaching the 70-island archipelago, and more.
