James KeillerJames 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. |
