Innovation & Great Minds

Since before the Industrial Revolution, Scots have been at the forefront of innovation and discovery across a wide range of spheres.

Amazingly, for a country whose population has never been much in excess of 5 million, native Scots or those descended directly from them have been the recipients of some 11% of all the Nobel Prizes that have been awarded.

Ayrshire is the home of many great inventors including Sir Alexander Fleming (penicillin), John Dunlop (pneumatic tyre), John McAdam (tarmacadam), William Murdoch (gas lighting) and Robert the Bruce (King of Scots 1306-1329).
