Although not usually a fan of
bottled water, I particularly enjoy Sainsbury's Caledonian Still Natural Mineral Water, which the producers claim to be the "taste of
Scotland". The water comes from Sainsbury's own spring in
Caledonia and is bottled in
Lennoxtown, near the spring. Over the centuries the Scottish rains have laid down an
underground source of pure mineral water which has become renowed for its
taste and
purity.
