James Keiller

James Keiller seemingly bought a cargo of Seville oranges very cheaply, from a Spanish ship sheltering from a storm in Dundee harbour. He then found that they were so bitter that no one would buy them as eating fruit. Whereupon his wife Janet, so the story goes, made them into a jam, and thus was created the family name, fame and of course shareholders' profits in the years to come.

Marmalade was a Scottish invention and James Keiller's Dundee marmalade was actually a product of the world's first marmalade factory, located in Great Britain, in 1797. Dundee continues to be the gourmet purveyor of both Ginger and Orange marmalades. Marmalade is now used all over the world and is Delicious on scones, warm biscuits.
