The Scottish Enlightenment and the great Scots associated with it have received a great deal of much-deserved attention over recent years. The period which preceded and underpinned this has, however, been much less investigated. In this talk we will look at the melting pot of paradigm change that was the scientific revolution and at the contributions of some of the notable Scots who played a vital role in it.
