Scottish Water

Scottish Water have been installing Top Up Taps all over Scotland, with a view to getting people to buy less bottled water, and ultimately reduce the number of plastic bottles being used. The COO of SW is a friend of John's from University and he came to 'open' Ballater's Top Up Tap last week. Whilst he was here he gave us a SW bottle which of course we took with us when away walking. Given that there were no Top Up Taps where we were, we topped it up direct from the stream and took this picture for Pete. :-)
A fabulous close up with wonderful detail. Such a great idea and way to reduce the number of plastic bottles.

I have always had a filter system for water at home and refuse to buy plastic bottles.

With all the horrid news about our rivers and lakes lately, it’s wonderful that you can totally trust the fresh water you have there. I bet it tastes fabulous

Great concept and story. There's no beating a drink from a clean, fast running stream... :)

Superb! And if the water is pure and fresh - what a pleasure. Nothing beats that. I would give my eye tooth to be able to do this. We use a tap filter at home - I detest this persistent use of plastic.

You live in a beautiful part of the world…

Good for Scottish Water. Plastic bottles and bags are one of my pet peeves. So glad your mountain water is clean enough to drink.

Excellent idea for the water company. But yours looks like better tasting water.

Lovely shot. In Warsaw we have Oligocene water available. It is drawn from a depth of 200 m from the Oligocene layer. It was very trendy for a while, but now most people have gone back to bottled water. Bottle manufacturers have already tried to discourage people from drinking Oligocene water.
