Beta Blockers - Sir James Black, Nobel Prize for Medicine
Dolly the Sheep - Dr Ian Wilmut, first clone
Telephone - very definitely invented by Alexander Graham Bell, born in Edinburgh
Radar - Sir Robert Watson-Watt
Television - John Logie Baird

Oh, did I mention that all of the above are SCOTTISH?? British too of course, but for those of you who are confused, let me clarify. Britian means England, Scotland and Wales. Many people consider British to mean English, which is not the case at all. We're all British, but can also be English, Scottish or Welsh.
