Footnote
Note: John Rae, native of Orkney, was without doubt one of the Victorian eras most celebrated explorers and navigators. His most famous feat was his part in discovering the final link in the treacherous North West Passage. As noted by Highland Park who created this limited edition to celebrate this famous Orkney native ‘in covering thousands of miles of uncharted terrain in the harshest conditions, he showed courage, fortitude, determination and warm humanity that marks him as one of the greatest Arctic explores of all time’.
This bottle, and lot 405, will be sold to benefit the continued work of the John Rae Society, to find out more visit johnraesociety.com.
