The Scots didn't invent the wheel!
But what they have invented from television to the ultrasound scanner has helped change the face of the world.
People of Scotland
The Scottish people are famously friendly, inventive, industrious and always ready to celebrate their national identity. But perhaps Winston Churchill said it best: 'of all the small nations on earth perhaps only the Ancient Greeks surpass the Scots in their contribution to mankind'.
Scots descendants now live all over the world and the country has contributed to global culture through innovation and talent in every sphere. Scientific break throughs, celebrities, musicians, artists and some of the most influential intellects in World history. It's a record to be proud of, and its a story that is still being written.
