What do television, pneumatic tyres, steam ships, the telephone, the women's movement and antibiotics have in common? If you drive a car, have an operation, use a mobile phone or watch TV, wear a raincoat or have survived the flu - you've benefitted from the work of an enlightened Scot. They brought you tyres and telephones, philosophy and poetry, literature and liberation, science, steamships, lighthouses and a Wealth of Nations - all from Scotland.
