This is set up in the original birthplace of the amazing Scottish scientist, James Clerk Maxwell, whose discoveries affect everyone today. Your mobile phone is possible because of this amazing man's intellect.
He was born in this house in 1831, in this picture where I'm standing in Edinburgh, and left there when he was two years old.
His work covered kinetic theory of gases, discovery of how electromagnetism worked, the modern process of colour photography - you name it!
He was one of those people who really changed the world. Einstein recognised him as one of the greatest scientists of all time.
