What have Scots done for the world?

The following is a brief list, which probably lists some places in today's world that need to be attributed to Wallace's compatriots: an archaeological discovery of toilets in the Scottish village of orkney extended the history of toilets to the Neolithic Age. This charming squat pit was built in 2200 BC. It is not only the first place to experience excrement, but also uses the flushing system to flush "excrement" out of the room, which gives a lot of design inspiration to contemporary toilets. In order to commemorate this invention of Scots, public toilets nowadays are generally marked with two numbers, one is "man" and the other is "Scot". Fingerprint identification Henry Ford, born in Ayrshire, Scotland, has been to Japan. 1870 or so, he found that the fingerprints of ancient Japanese craftsmen were preserved on local pottery, and none of them were the same. He immediately realized that it was a means to identify criminals, and recommended this creation to his own country, which needed criminal identification most at that time, but it was ruthlessly rejected. However, the Argentine police adopted this knowledge and solved a murder case in which a mother killed two children for the first time. Refrigerator William Crane of Hamilton put forward the concept of "refrigerator" long before the invention of electricity. The principle is simple: release compressed air through mechanical devices to dissipate heat. But in 1748, he didn't immediately realize the practical function of this device. Today, we widely use it to store food, or the bodies of ex-girlfriends. At this moment, there are about 654.38+50 million ATMs in the world. Their grandparents are john shepard baron, a Scottish born in India. This guy came up with this idea while taking a shower and finally put it into practice. 1967, the first working ATM machine appeared on the streets of London. Barron first designed a six-digit password for ATM machines, but too many idiots had limited brain capacity, and later changed it to a more insecure four-digit password. /kloc-One day in 0/980, Professor John Malarde of the University of Aberdeen in Scotland (he was also the first professor of medical physics in Scotland) patted his head and came up with this idea, which saved many lives. Seriously, we still can't tell what it is. Bank of England, it's true! The Scots invented the world's oldest national bank for their unscrupulous English neighbors. 1694, Sir William Patterson proposed to Count Khalifa to establish the Bank of England, which was approved. Until then, everyone must hide the gold nuggets at home. The word "horse" on the road does not refer to this "horse road", it is based on the inventor's surname. The first road was invented and designed by John McDan, a Scotsman. In fact, it's nothing special, just paved with gravel. Because of its design and invention, the traffic in Britain has been greatly improved, providing extremely convenient conditions for the rapid development of British industry and trade. To commemorate, this road was named (macadamisation). Bicycle Scottish blacksmith kirkpatrick McMillan invented a two-wheeled riding tool to help him cross his hometown of Danfris. Unlike Mercedes-Benz or Ford, he never thought about making patent fees from this invention. The steam engine Greenock, 20 miles from Glasgow, is the hometown of james watt. He is famous for inventing the steam engine and is regarded as the smartest idea in the history of the world. Factories, trains, ships and cars all followed him. Color photography 186 1 year, the Scottish scientist james maxwell, who is not obsessed with black and white photography, invented the three-color separation and development method, so that the photographic negative can be sensitive to red, yellow and blue respectively. His first photo was an artificial rainbow. It was Scotland, not England, that drove on the left. It was England who first invented this wrong driving method and caused harm to this day. 1772, this bad habit was first stipulated by Scottish law, and it was not until 1835 that similar regulations were passed in England and Wales. But the world didn't follow. Amro, the art of two people standing and cursing is not originated in Detroit. This is a variety tradition in medieval ancient Scotland, and James VI himself is one of the audience. As Scottish slave owners immigrated to the United States, this melodious bickering also spread to the United States. We are looking forward to a Scottish accent "Eight Miles". Where's Kim The most popular cocktail in the world is also an invention from Scotland. /kloc-george craig Howe, a doctor in Edinburgh in the 0 ~ (th) century, discovered that cinchona sodium can treat malaria, but this medicine is too bitter to be swallowed with nourishing water. The only way to swallow it is to add a little gin ... well, cheers! Radar 1936, Sir Robert Watson Watt developed the technology of detecting flying objects by radio waves for the British army. It once saved London, and now women rely on it to safely reverse their cars in the garage. Mr. Watson, can you come here for a moment? I need you now! "alexander bell's famous first call was a distress call. If it weren't for this Edinburgh person, you would not have reached 4008-5 17-5 17 if you were hungry in the middle of the night. By the way, McDonald's is also Scottish. Other inventions from Scotland include penicillin, anesthesiology, telegraph, Dolly sheep (the first cloned mammal), electric clock, typography, toaster, golf, antibacterial technology (using antibacterial technology to fight diseases), fax machine, neoclassical economics, beta-blockers (treating heart disease), logarithm (in mathematics), glue stamps and thermos bottles.
