Soft water. My dad was always very sensitive to the taste of water though, he always said it tasted better in the country and that edinburgh and glasgow had too much chlorine in the water. So even within Scotland you can grade it apparently. I don't notice this that much but I do feel fresher when I drink tap water in the highlands i guess.

I used to go to uni in York which is a hard water area, I didn't realize for literally years because to me it tasted ok. Bathroom used to get dirty a lot quicker than it does here though (tbh at the time i just assumed that was because i'd moved out of my parental home and didn't realize how often i would have to do such chores in the "real world"). I also don't mind drinking london water, better than paying like £2 for bottled water, probably £3 now. So maybe I'm just weird.

Other good countries in my experience for soft tap water are switzerland and japan, by the way. It's definitely something to do with mountains ⛰

French water at least in Paris is foul.
