So, can you drink the tap water in Edinburgh? Yes, and you should. It’s safe, it’s pure, and it’s essentially free. The city works hard to keep it clean, and it shows. Every time I fill my kettle, I feel a little smug knowing I’m drinking water that’s been filtered by nature itself.
Go on, fill that glass. Raise it to your lips. Taste the hills, the rain, and the centuries of care that go into every drop. And if you see a tourist hesitating with a plastic bottle at the supermarket, just smile and say, “Fancy a tap? Trust me.”
It’s the most Edinburgher thing you’ll do all day.
