At the bottom of the garden at Mr Seat's grandmother's house is a small brick building where her forbear, Archibald Cochrane, experimented with coal, producing gas to light his house in 1782. (Granny came from a long line of amateur inventors - her father is credited with making Oxo the way it is today...). Now, the ceo of Jet Blue is looking to coal gas to power his aircraft.
Another product of the Scottish enlightenment?
