Sustainability and heritage are two of our main focuses. In 2014, we initiated a project with Heriot-Watt University and the Marine Conservation Society to protect and enhance our Highland home at Glenmorangie. Our pride in our heritage and our communities is shared in our partnership with National Museums Scotland.

National Museums Scotland
Inspired by our passion for our heritage and Scotland’s history, we began The Glenmorangie Research Project on Early Medieval Scotland in 2008. Since then, we’ve uncovered exciting new insights on this important period of Scotland’s past.
The project is a pioneering partnership between The Glenmorangie Company and National Museums Scotland that was inspired by the Hilton of Cadboll stone, which has had close ties to our brand since its discovery. This stunning piece of early medieval sculpture was found close to our distillery in Tain, Easter Ross, and is now on display at The National Museum of Scotland in the Early People gallery. Mesmerised by the incredible find, we even took inspiration from the ancient carvings on the stone to create the Glenmorangie Signet logo.
With our interest in Scotland’s early history, we’re proud to support National Museums Scotland’s ground-breaking research. Beautiful, elaborate and sophisticated objects, sculptured stones and manuscripts were produced in Scotland during this time. Through this project, we can uncover their stories and share them with the people of Scotland.
