Scotland isn't all just kilts, bagpipes, haggis and whisky -- Scottish technology achievements have become the envy of many countries, and the country's scientists and researchers
Some of the Scottish technology projects that have received more attention have to do with sustainability. These eco-friendly ventures tend to get a lot of praise and attention simply because while they may have been developed in Scotland, their utility means they can be of use in lots of other countries and world regions.
Projects in other realms of science and engineering have also been well-received due to their cutting-edge nature, with some of the projects testing technology and systems that are downright futuristic and could have fascinating implications in the years to come.
