Alexander Graham Bell (March 3, 1847 – August 2, 1922)^[4] was a Scottish-born^{[N 3]} scientist, inventor, engineer and innovator who is credited with patenting the first practical telephone.^[7]

Bell's father, grandfather, and brother had all been associated with work on elocution and speech, and both his mother and wife were deaf, profoundly influencing Bell's life's work.^[8] His research on hearing and speech further led him to experiment with hearing devices which eventually culminated in Bell being awarded the first U.S. patent for the telephone in 1876.^{[N 4]} Bell considered his most famous invention an intrusion on his real work as a scientist and refused to have a telephone in his study.^{[9][N 5]}

Many other inventions marked Bell's later life, including groundbreaking work in optical telecommunications, hydrofoils and aeronautics. In 1888, Bell became one of the founding members of the National Geographic Society.^[11]

William Wallace is a National Hero thanks to Hollywood, well-known all over the world. However, the truth of the whole story is a bit different than shown in the movie “Braveheart” in which Mel Gibson played Wallace.
Born in 1272, William Wallace was one of three sons of Sir Malcolm Wallace and Margaret de Crauford. His family probably originated from Ness near the English border. Today there is a memorial on the land the family owned at Elderslie near Glasgow. Not much is known about William Wallace’ early years. He had 2 brothers. The elder brother was named Malcolm and the younger one John. After the deat

of his father, William was brought up by his uncle who lived in Dunipace. Later he probably got some military experience and was well educated as his uncle taught him French and Latin.
