As for Glasgow's water, I actually think the city centre has better stuff than Edinburgh; that might just be a preference thing after living here for like 4 years.
I voted no, but I do drink filtered tap water. The reason is this: I have never lived in a house in Raleigh where they didn't dump chemicals straight into the system. If you turn the tap on in my parent's house, it will smell like a swimming pool in 2 minutes. That is rediculous amounts of chlorine. I just have to wonder what they are dumpping into the system and why they have to add so many chemicals. It is best I don't think about it, lest someone find out tap water in Raleigh is just chemical diluted waste water. I wouldn;t put that against our snobby inbred mayor.
Lucky to have lived in places with tap water that came from good sources, it doesn't taste metallic, smell like chemicals or have a disturbing cloudy look. The best water I have tasted would be on my great-uncle's ranch, his kitchen sink faucet was linked directly to the creek outside, so there was constantly running fresh water coming through the tap. It was delicious.
I live in Sweden, we have awesome water and as I live outside the city we have our own well and pump to get it. So I drink massive amounts of delicious clean tap water.

is it not summit to do with the pipes in Edinburgh?
Nah, I live on Long Island, NY and while we have some pretty good tasting tap water we also have a high rate of breast cancer in the region which is thought to be linked to the chemical plants and factories we used to have in the area. I don't know if its linked to the water but ever since being told that at a young age i avoided tap water when possible.
Yeah, I think it tastes funny here anyway. I drink the filtered water through my fridge and Poland Spring when I can.
@artofwar420: If your not drinking it from the tap that means they are drinking bottled water which has been shown time and time again has no benefit and is in fact less helpful to your body than just water straight from the tap.
Most bottled water comes from a "municipal supply" which is - Glorified tap water. But bottled water makers don't have to list the source.
