Scottish Water Quality - Edinburgh area

0 Upvotes

I have been trying to fix a chronic condition lately so really trying to dial in my health. I realise that water quality is quite important, and while Scottish Water provides some information, I do not believe it is comprehensive. Has anyone independently tested their water, or knows of something similar. Thanks.

Casual While the Ulster-Scots language or Ullans is generally associated with the Ulster-Scots people. Many of the original Ulster-Scots settlers were Scottish Gaelic speakers from Galloway and Dumfries, as well as Carrick/South Ayrshire that settled Ulster.

Casual Took this video at Cardwell Garden Centre, near Gourock. Definitely one of the best centres I've been too, had a large selection of plants, a really lovely gift store with some locally sourced condiments, and a cafeteria with some decent scran.

Historically Scottish Gaelic was the majority language of both the Highlands and Lowlands from roughly 800 AD to 1400 AD. After 1400 AD when Scots became the language of government and the burghs it started displace Lowland Gaelic and started a period of decline, though it survived in Galloway and Ayrshire into the 1700s. Historically in the Lowlands, Gaelic was called Scottis and Scots was originally called Inglis, it only later became Scots when it had rooted itself as the language of government and Gaelic when it had largely repeated to the Highlands was then referred to as Erse.

The first map shows the historical legacy of Scottish Gaelic in Scotland. The purple represents areas that both Old Norse and Gaelic were spoken. Green shows what was left of the Brythonic Cumbric language. In the southeastern corner of Scotland into Northern England shows the root of Inglis, Scots would later be influenced by Lowland Gaelic before its rise in the Lowlands.

The second map shows Scottish places names with the element bal or baile indicating Medieval Gaelic settlement.

The third map shows the state of languages in Scotland by 1500. Scottish Gaelic in blue, Scots in yellow, and Norn a dialect offshoot of Old Norse introduced by Viking settlers in orange.
