Get your coat, the Mac is Scottish

But most folk don't know about our world-changing inventions

- ADAM GILHAM

MOST adults have no idea that some of the world's greatest inventions were devised by Scots - including the Mac coat.

The colour TV, the telephone, antibiotics, the refrigerator, thermos flasks and the bicycle were all brought into the world by clever Caledonians.

But a survey found the majority of adults surveyed by Netflix didn't know they were created here.

A shocking 96 per cent of UK adults surveyed had no idea the Macintosh waterproof jacket was invented by Glaswegian Charles Macintosh in 1823.

Only 93 per cent knew the Thermos flask was a homegrown product, created by Kincardine chemist Sir James Dewar in 1892.
