Annie Scott Dill Maunder (née Russell) ( 14 April 1868 – 15 September 1947) was an Irish-British astronomer, who recorded the first evidence of the movement of sunspot emergence from the poles toward the equator over the Sun's 11-year cycle. She was one of the leading astronomers of her time, but because of her gender, her contribution was often underplayed at the time. In 1916 she was elected to the Royal Astronomical Society, 21 years after being refused membership because of her gender

Alexander Fleming (Physician and Microbiologist Who Discovered ‘Penicillin’ World’s First Broadly Effective Antibiotic Substance) Birthdate: August 6, 1881 Birthplace : Darvel , East Ayrshire, Scotland Died: March 11, 1955 Alexander Fleming was a Scottish physician and microbiologist renowned for discovering penicillin, the world's first effective antibiotic. His groundbreaking 1928 discovery of benzylpenicillin from Penicillium rubens revolutionized medicine, earning him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1945. He also identified the enzyme lysozyme and a bacterium, showcasing his diverse contributions to microbiology. Knighted in 1944 for his scientific achievements, Fleming is recognized as one of the most significant figures of the 20th century, honored in various lists and polls for his impactful work.

James Maxwell (Scottish Mathematician and Scientist Who Gave the Classical Theory of Electromagnetic Radiation) Birthdate: June 13, 1831 Birthplace: Edinburgh, Scotland Died: November 5, 1879 James Clerk Maxwell was a Scottish physicist known for his groundbreaking work in the field of electromagnetism. He formulated the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation, unifying electricity, magnetism, and light. Maxwell's equations revolutionized physics, leading to the prediction of radio waves. He also made significant contributions to statistical mechanics, color photography, and the analysis of structures. Maxwell's work laid the foundation for modern physics, influencing fields such as special relativity and quantum mechanics. He is considered one of the greatest physicists in history, alongside Newton and Einstein.

John Napier (Inventor of Logarithms) Birthdate : February 1, 1550 Birthplace: Merchiston Tower, Edinburgh Died: April 4, 1617 John Napier of Merchiston was a Scottish mathematician, physicist, and astronomer known for his significant contributions to the field of mathematics. He is best known for his discovery of logarithms, invention of "Napier's bones," and popularization of the decimal point in arithmetic and mathematics. His work revolutionized mathematical calculations and laid the foundation for future advancements in the field. Napier's professional legacy is commemorated by a memorial at St Cuthbert's in Edinburgh and his birthplace, Merchiston Tower, which is now part of Edinburgh Napier University.

William Ramsay (Scottish Chemist Who Discovered the Noble Gases) Birthdate: October 2, 1852 Birthplace : Glasgow, Scotland Died: July 23, 1916 Sir William Ramsay was a Scottish chemist renowned for his discovery of the noble gases. His collaboration with John William Strutt led to the isolation of argon , for which they both received Nobel Prizes in Chemistry and Physics . Ramsay's subsequent investigations into atmospheric gases resulted in the discovery and isolation of helium, neon, krypton, and xenon. This groundbreaking work not only expanded our understanding of the periodic table but also solidified Ramsay's reputation as a pioneering figure in the field of chemistry.

Sir James W. Black (Scottish Physician and Pharmacologist, Winner of the 1988 Nobel Prize in Medicine) Birthdate: June 14, 1924 Birthplace: Uddingston , Scotland Died: March 22, 2010 Sir James W. Black was a prominent Scottish physician and. He shared the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1988 for his contributions to the development of propranolol and cimetidine, two important medications. Black's interest in the effects of adrenaline on the human heart led him to establish a Veterinary Physiology department at the University of Glasgow. His work at ICI Pharmaceuticals resulted in the development of propranolol, a beta blocker for heart disease.
