It’s no secret that us Scots are an inventive bunch. But just how much have Scottish inventions impacted your daily life?
Well, when you got up this morning and checked your phone - we wouldn’t be in the age of the smart phone if Alexander Graham Bell hadn’t invented the first ever telephone.
Head to your FRIDGE for breakfast? Put some bread in the TOASTER? We invented both of those!
Get ready for the day, and put in your CONTACT LENSES? Daily Disposables were invented in Scotland!
Head to work on the TRAIN? We invented the first ever steam engine.
Picked up some cash from an ATM? That was us!
Sipping coffee from a VACUUM FLASK? Scottish Invention!
And after that coffee, a little trip to the FLUSHING TOILET? The S bend was invented by a Scottish mechanic.
And what about afterwork when it’s time to relax? We invented the TELEVISION too!
(And lets not forget about MRI scans, tarmac, penicillin, sheep cloning, colour photographs or the kaleidoscope too!)
Invention. Innovation. Exploration. That’s what makes Scotland such a brilliant place to be.
Hello Inventions of the world.
Hello Scotland.
