## Resource

How did a storm-battered Spanish ship, a Dundee harbour, and a grocer's wife with a pan full of unsaleable bitter oranges accidentally create one of the first registered trademarks in British history — and a product that would end up on breakfast tables from Edinburgh to Bombay? Why did the family fortune from that single kitchen experiment eventually pay for the restoration of Avebury, one of the greatest prehistoric monuments in Europe? And what does any of this have to do with Paddington Bear and Monty Don? Join John and Patrick as they tell the story of Scotland and marmalade — the Keiller factory, the empire in a jar, and the most consequential use of unsaleable citrus in history... ---------- In Sponsorship with J&K Fresh.
