Water safety in Scotland
Scottish Water operates a Top Up Tap network providing free drinking water in towns and cities. Natural springs and private supplies are not regulated by Scottish Water.
Ace Access does not confirm that untested natural sources are safe to drink. Check each source's classification before use.
