I notice the Italian bloke who invented the telephone has been internationally acknowledged recently...

So, as I am in Och Aye the Noo Land right now and Salmond's secret agents may be monitoring my internet......

Scotland has given us,

Haggis
Deep fried haggis
Deep fried Mars Bar
Deep fried pizza
Stovies
Decent fire water
Coronary heart disease statistics to make the rest of us look good
Bay City Rollers
Dry shortbread
Tartan Tam 'o Shanters with ginger hair sticking out of them
Men in skirts (it'll never catch on)
Loch Ness Monster
Buoyant methadone market
Semi buoyant heroin market
A74, A1 and A68
The Coldstream road, I forget the number
Billy Connolly
Rab C Nesbit

Actually, quite a lot when you think about it.
