Scotland gave you the Television (and colour TV too)
...we also stole the telephone from some Italian bloke XD (Innocenzo Manzetti I believe his name was) but he didn't patent it so Alexander Graham Bell nicked the idea and got the patent.
We also invented the Kelvin temperature scale (which is used in astronomy mainly)
We also invented curling, golf, cycling (did I mention we invented the peddle-bike?) and a few modern athletic sports.
I also believe we invented the flush toilet

Don't trust the telephone! Alexander only got the patent so the invention is under his name XD

To all the people who have been claiming that America invented the Internet...
You should that while the network itself was created in the US, the World Wide Web (HTML, etc) was actually created at CERN mostly by a british engineer called Tim Berners-Lee and a Belgian engineer called Rovert Cailliau.

Well, America put a man on the moon, split the atom, and its military invented the internet... so we'll have a legacy for quite some time, I think.
