Scientists and Engineers
Scots
are famous for their ingenuity and their entrepreneurial flair.
With a strong accent on scientific research, Scots have produced
some of the most important inventions in history, including:
the steam engine (James Watt), the telephone (Alexander Graham
Bell), penicillin (Alexander Fleming), Fax transmission (Alexander
Bain), Radar (Sir Robert Watson-Watt and Magnetic resonance
imaging (John Mallard). Today that tradition continues with
groundbreaking developments in a range of hi-tech sectors, including:
biotechnology (cloning – The Roslin Institute), software
(First computer strategy game ‘Lemmings’ – David
Jones) and healthcare (beta-blockers – Nobel Laureate Sir
James W. Black).
