The award-winning north-east firm is exporting growing volume of its mineral water from Royal Deeside to countries including Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Spain, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Russia, Hong Kong and Japan, reports the P&J.

Martin Simpson, managing director of Ballater-based Deeside Water Company, told the newspaper that "the increased exports were the result of many more people abroad discovering the water and its 'unique' health-giving qualities".

Overseas sales are now said to make up 15-20% of the company’s turnover.
