 * Reason:After seeing how good of quality Annan's picture of Livingstone was, I looked to see what else he had. Rather a lot, actually, a lot of it connected with Edinburgh and Glasgow. So, William Rankine. He developed the Rankine temperature scale, which is... well, to use a formulation I had to learn way back when I was in American high school and studying for the SATs before I moved over here: Kelvin is to Celsius as Rankine is to Fahrenheit.


 * Did a lot of work on thermodynamics.
