When we were in Scotland a couple of years ago we ended up in the middle of a clan meeting (at the hotel in Lochearnhead where we were eating). I think it was the McLarens. (sp?) There were many kilts there, and they all looked great!

Did you know that a Scotsman, John Boyd Dunlop, was a veterinarian who also designed the rubber tire with an inflatable tube inside (although he wasn't the first). That's where Dunlop tires gets their name.

On an episode of QI, Stephen Fry went through a list of inventions falsely attributed to the Scots. I can't remember all of them, but the telephone was one of them, as Alexander Graham Bell stole the idea from someone else and put his name on the patent.
