Automated Teller Machine inventor honoured

Though not with cash: James Goodfellow, inventor of the Automated Teller Machine (ATM) and the Personal Identification Number (PIN) technology has been bestowed with an honorary doctorate in his home town of Paisley in Scotland. The 77-year-old who developed the first 'hole in the wall' in the 1960's was at the University of West of Scotland to receive the award. He said: "the fact that a technology which enjoys world-wide usage originated here surprises a lot of people, but it shouldn't. Paisley always had a reputation for originality, hence the saying, 'Keep your eye on Paisley'". 

List of inventions from Scotland seems endless.
