Scottish Firsts
Scottish Firsts
    What would the world be
    like without the phone,
    the fax or television?
    How would it have
    developed without
    effective steam power or
    the oil industry? Could
    you survive without
    penicillin or antiseptic
    surgery? d? There is no
    simple answer. SCOTTISH
    FIRSTS, originally
    produced From Napier's
    bones to Dolly the sheep,
    Scottish Firsts
    celebrates the remarkable
    achievements of a small
    country whose influence
    has helped to shape the
    modern world. It tells
    the engrossing stories of
    Scotland's heroes from
    William Murdoch,
    inventor of gas lighting,
    who went to his first
    job interview wearing a
    wooden top hat, to Ian
    Donald, whose prototype
    of the pregnancy scanner
    included a contraceptive
    sheath. Scottish Firsts
    also explores some of the
    lesser-known achievements
    of Scots both at home and
    abroad, from the Buick
    car to the Thomson
    steamer; the first
    branded fruit cordial to
    the ConaT coffee
    percolator. It lists
    everything from sporting
    firsts to some of the
    world's most extreme
    environments that have
    been named after Scots.
    This absorbing compendium
    of facts is an essential
    reference companion as
    well as an intriguing
    read for proud Scots
    everywhere.
