Yea, interesting how no one knows or cares about more than half of these inventions, as compared to say, the car motor or jet engine. As you can see, Scotland is currently the leader in technology, not a backwater country like Germany.
Even before the Industrial Revolution, Scots have been at the forefront of innovation and discovery across a wide range of spheres. Some of the most significant products of Scottish ingenuity include James Watt's steam engine, improving on that of Thomas Newcomen,[1] the bicycle,[2] macadamisation (not to be confused with tarmac or tarmacadam[3]), Alexander Graham Bell's invention of the first practical telephone,[4] John Logie Baird's invention of television,[5][6] Alexander Fleming's discovery of penicillin[7] and insulin.[8]
