Hi Stew SIR
[but we will take some credit for designing the Spitfire and producing the Rolls Royce Merlin engine ]
Oh no - You won't No way

- Facts in official books and I have plenty -
The Rolls Royce Merlin engine was MADE in Glasgow and other factories but it was NOT designed by any Scot. (Royce, Hives, Elliot, Hooker and Rubbra were not Scots) - It was a private venture engine developed from and directly influenced by the Schneider Trophy Rolls Royce R engie which, in 1933 was developed into the PV12 and from which came the first Merlin engine, which was also influenced by the RR Kestrel engine.
The Spitfire was undisputedly designed by - R.J. Mitchel who was born in Stoke of English parents.
It was not built in Scotland
I'm not even going to even comment on the African concentration camps which were carried out in Kenya in the 50's as well as in The Boer war.
As for Morris dancers - They compare wi yer heeland prancing, silly games like curling and tossing cabers for a laugh a minute laddie -
AND - Kelvin was indeed a Scot but he was honoured after delving into Cryogenics and that relates to low temperatures. He discovered what has been recogniesed as the lowest temperature achievable - Absolute ZERO. THUS - Expressed in Degrees Kelvin - 0 deg. Abs = -273 Deg. Celsius
Not for splitting atoms
SO - its clear to me am mere Erk that your IQ of minus 1 K = -274 is unique SIR and thus, suitable for canon fodder
