Being a lamia has its flaws, but it must be so nice to always have a couch to recline on.

The Scots Engineer

In the 19th century and early 20th century, a stereotype developed in Britain (especially England) that The Engineer was always a Scot, especially on ocean-going ships, railways, and military sapper units. Oh, and in breweries, too; you can't run a proper London Porter brewery without a good Scots brewmaster, now, could you?

This arose due to events in the late 18th century, in the first part of the Industrial Revolution, when much of Scotland was still recovering from the severe reprisals following the Hanover-Stuart Wars. Scotland was already noteworthy for both mining and ship building, so there was a tradition of engineering there already, with the first successful steam engines being developed for pumping water out of Scottish mines. However, since much of Scotland (especially the Highlands) was now deeply impoverished, many educated and experienced Scots mining engineers moved to the industrial centres of England to take up work in the newly mechanized fields ranging from weaving to beer brewing.

Over time, many of these would return to Scotland to form their own businesses, with many in the coastal cities working in ship construction during the shift from sail to steam. As a result, it really was the case that a large number of ship engineers in both the Royal Navy and the rising shipping lines were Scots. Scottish engineers also dominated the rail business, especially in the designing and building of trestle bridges in the mid to late 19th century.

While this image of Scotland as a nation of burly mechanics has largely faded, it lingered long enough to inspire the most famed Scottish engineer of all, Commander Montgomery Scott.

Oh look, it's mentioned on TV Tropes, though it doesn't have its own trope page. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwik...

Interesting. I knew it predated Star Trek (saw this trope in a French pulp novel series that debuted in 1953), but I wasn't aware by just how long.

Dress + muscles are an S-tier combo.

Is "mighty-han" an art-only account? I was only aware of "mightyhan" until now.

Equines originally evolved in North America. When the Europeans arrived, they unknowingly brought the horse back where it belonged.
