FACT OF THE DAY

Scientist Robert Watson-Watt was born in Angus on this day in 1892. Watson-Watt is credited with developing the first workable radar system, turning it into a key advantage to Allied forces in the Second World War. He was knighted in 1942 and ten years later received a $50,000 gift from the British government for his efforts. See more stories like his in heritage.scotsman.com
