Scotland's Greatest Asset

Short on other assets, the Scots make up for it through their people.

In his ground breaking book "How the Scots Invented the Modern World", the author Arthur Herman lists an astonishing array of seemingly ordinary things invented or fathered by a Scotsman.  

Most of these men were not rich or upper class; they came from the lonely crofts (small rented farms), the bleak hill farms, and the teeming tenements of the cities.

The subtitle of Herman's book is "The True Story of How Western Europe's Poorest Nation Created our World and Everything in It"
