Abstract
It was a Scot who arguably invented the first working television service, and in 1931, the Helensborough-born John Logie-Baird, innovated a way of using his ¡®mechanical¡¯ form of television to transmit an outside broadcast from the Epsom Derby, some six years ahead of the BBC¡¯s first televised OB from King George VI Coronation in 1937. But it would be more than two decades before television was eventually broadcast in Scotland via the Kirk O¡¯Shotts transmitter, and so it was 1953 that the first live OB from Scotland was transmitted from the Edinburgh Tattoo.
