The actress playing Cho Chang was Katie Leung who was born in Motherwell, North Lanarkshire & grew up & was educated entirely in Scotland. She is definitely a Scot!

[@SaorAlba1970]

Cho Chang/Katie Leung she is Scottish .... Tarmac/Macadamised roads, Radar, Bicycle, pneumatic tyre, Waterproof coat (McKintosh), Golf, Whisky, Curling, (many different biscuits like hob nobs & digestives etc) , The Telegram, Steam Engine Trains, Adam Smith - key figure during the Scottish Enlightenment, also known as ''The Father of Economics'' or ''The Father of Capitalism'' and the electric measurement was named after him "Watt", Andrew Carnegie - was a Scottish-American industrialist, and philanthropist, Alexander Hamilton (one of America's big 5 founding fathers) John Paul Jones (one of the founders of the US Navy) are some of the Scottish things you most likely never knew

[@andythomson4867]

Yeah, Katie Leung is from Motherwell and she used her own accent in the Potter films.

[@sam.victor470]

Other Scottish inventions: Bicycle, Radar, Tar macadam road surfacing,, Gannex waterproof raincoats, Hypodermic syringe, Colour photography,, Disposable contact lenses, Steam engine, Facsimilie machine, Radio waves, MRI scanner, Vacuum flask, Fingerprinting, Pneumatic tyre, Flushing toilet 'S' bend, All electric jet engine, First distillery for Irish whiskey, and Square Saussge!

It is truly astonishing for such a small country that so many inventions have come from Scotland , including discoveries not already mentioned in the comments so far : x-rays & MRI scanner , toaster , first colour photo , vacuum flask , fingerprinting , hypodermic syringe , golf , ice hockey , shot put & hammer throw , radar , ATM cash machine & pin numbers , first oil refinery , general anaesthetic , treatment for tuberculosis , electric clock , lawnmower , waterproof coats , bank of England & France , modern economics & geology , electromagnetism ( James Clerk Maxwell should be as well known as Albert Einstein & Isaac Newton for his amazing contribution to science , we can thank him for all our electronic devices ! ) , teleprinter , forerunner of the fax machine , wave energy generators and modern printing.

Highlander Alexander MacRae founded Speedo. Who knew?! Originally called MacRae and Company Hosiery, emigré MacRae founded the Australian knitted underwear brand that won the contract to provide socks for the Australian Army in the Great War, allowing the company to expand. In 1927, moving into modern, briefer, backless knitted swimwear that allowed for faster swimming, a company staff competition created the name Speedo. In. 1936, the Australian men’s swim team appeared in Speedo shirtless swim trunks for the first time, causing controversy. Today Speedo is an English company (yes, it’s not Australian or American) based in Nottingham, but its roots are in the wool culture of the Highlands.

Shelties (also known as a Shetland Sheep dog) are from the Shetland Islands off the mainland in North Scotland, they and Rough Collies are both descendants of the widely known Border Collie. Rough Collies are also from the Shetland Isles and both dogs were used for herding sheep or cattle. Most dogs small, medium or large were bred for a specific job, even lap dogs (Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apso etc) were bred to keep their owners company. No dog is “bred” to look cute!

[@Thumtwiddler]

A ton of Scots & Irish fled the UK & came to the USA. From 1640s through the 1880s. The British rule was harsh & cruel. They even took Xmas away from the Scots. Something like 70% of Americans are a 1/4 or more Irish. All my ancestors were in America by 1840 (starting in 1620) & I'm 1/3 irish & 1/3 Scottish.

It was originally a device to help deaf people hear. "Can you hear me Watson" was, I believe, his words over the device to his assistant. The first ever words spoken electronically.

Katie Leung who played Cho Chang was born in Motherwell, so very definitely Scottish.

[@SlowLane-pv3nf]

I knew nothing about the fridge. I somehow thought it was French or German? I guess the research leading to its invention coukd be considered Scottish if you're talking about Lord Kelvin who was actually from Belfast, but he is most famously associated with Glasgow University. Anyway that's cool 😂🎓😎 every day is a school day 👍

Can I suggest making a video about things people think are Scottish, but they're actually not? (hint: haggis, whisky, tartan, kilts and bagpipes aren't actually Scottish inventions)

[@Kakibot]

Putting it on the list! .)

[@galoglaich3281]

PapaQ Not entirely kilts are definitely scottish but the modern short kilt probably was probably a modification by an english industrialist even then it may have existed already and he just made it popular.Bagpipes are not scottish but the great highland pipes is ,they addded a third drone.Whisky is scottish but whiskey is irish and is distilled twice rather than three times with irish whiskey.Tartan would not be scottish it has existed since ancient times in different lands and haggis i don't know

[@brahnseer3512]

I do not think the inventor of the refrigerator was Scottish. Probably a US citizen.

[@Kakibot]

The first ever refrigerator presented to fellow academics, alongside with the whole scientific concept of refrigeration, has indeed been brought to us by a Scot (William Cullen) - it took another 50 years to come up with the first domestic refrigerator (the ice industry at the time did not like this very much), which was patented by an Englishman, but arguably it would take a lot longer without Cullen's initial invention.

[@brahnseer3512]

I did not know this, neither had I heard of William Cullen. When a checked Google about the invention of refrigerator no mention was made of Cullen either. You must add to your list the giants of Adam Smith(father of economics), David Hume, father of modern thought, James Clerk Maxwell the giant referred to by Albert Einstein and his work of electro magnetism and James Hutton, the father of Geology.

[@HootMaRoot]

You can't be blamed for thinking that Robbie Coltrane is Irish, as most people in the south of Scotland think we are Irish when they hear us in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland speaking

Until the end of the 18th Century the term 'Irish' was habitually used for people (and their language) from north of the Highland Line.

[@andykeogh6747]

I'm 65-years old, my wife 63 and we are huge fans of the Harry Potter books. J.K. Rowling single-handedly kick-started a generation of young people to re-engage with the printed word. The fact that you are one of the very few that finds it "over rated [sic] N [sic] annoying" is perhaps an indication of your lack of imagination and comprehension rather than a failing on the author's part.

Golden Retrievers aren’t fully Scottish, they were mixed originally with breeds from Scotland and England which makes them a British breed. So, there’s one you got wrong!

[@paulcampbell6542]

Depends on how you look at it because the golden retrievers have Labrador Retriever blood in them and the dog originated in Newfoundland and it first arrived in England in 1800 so technically it isn't British or Scottish
