Scottish innovation and creativity have benefited the world in many ways. On this episode of Simply Scottish, we look at just three of Scotland's contributions - the inimitable Lulu, the best-selling King James Bible, and the pedal-driven bicycle. Did you know Lulu was barely into her teenage years when she started singing publicly? Or that it took a team of several dozen translators seven years to produce their new English translation of the Bible under King James? And if people considered early velocipedes a thrill, wait until they saw what Kirkpatrick Macmillan came up with! All this plus music from The Silencers, Lulu, Niamh Parsons, and more!
