We found that Scotland actually had a lot of inventions over the years! Some of them we didn’t know about. Here are just a few of the ones we discovered :-

• William Cullen: Artificial Refrigeration (fridge)
• Alexander Cumming: The “S-trap” Flush Toilet
• John Logie Baird: The Television
• Alexander Graham Bell and the Telephone.
• Robert William Thomson & John Boyd Dunlop: The Pneumatic Tire
• Alexander Fleming: Penicillin.
• Kirkpatrick Macmillan – The pedal bike
• David Brewster – Kaleidoscope
• James Clerk Maxwell – Colour Photography

We took a note of the year all these inventions and created our own timelines!
