Having completed two series of Northern Folk, I realised the great contribution of Scottish people to the present well-being of the people that live not only the British Isles, but also the world in general. Scottish scientists, inventors and writers pioneered positive change for the better; even in the present day at least four ministers lead our nation in the inner cabinet in Parliament, all are Scottish.In my opinion I feel that one of the greatest discoveries ever made was that of Penicillin, by Alexander Fleming. This saved millions of lives not only in times of war but also in peacetime.Around one hundred years ago, thousands of people were dying of consumption, tuberculosis, bronchitis and other related complaints brought on by our climate, Penicillin brought about a cure, one for which I was, eventually, to be grateful.The invention of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell and television by John Logie Baird progressed communications enormously. Wonderful romance was created and supplied by poets and authors like Walter Scott and Robbie Burns, not forgetting Robert Louis Stevenson.
