Inventions and discoveries include: adhesive stamps; Bank of England; bicycle pedals; chloroform; the breech-loading rifle; the cell nucleus; colour photography; the cure for malaria; the decimal point; finger-printing; insulin; logarithms; paraffin; pneumatic tyres; radar; the screw propeller; tarmac; the ultrasound scanner; the United States Navy; vacuum flasks.

James Watt was a prolific inventor. He invented the steam engine, horsepower and the watt (smaller and more manageable unit of power), and the electric bill amongst other And don't forget Whisky. Blended whisky will get you drunk for sure but malt whisky is to be savoured. Many years ago I saw the label on some Japanese whisky that claimed to be made from "Genuine Scotch grapes."

The West was made possible by Scottish people and their contributions. There was a book on the subject. A worthy read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_the_Scots_Invented_the_Modern_World
