Length is fine and the article was created today. Offline references accepted in good faith and partially verified via the snippet search on Google Books. I'm uncertain about the hook; while the source and other sources repeat the claim about David Gregory and the barometer (I assume the father of this
David Gregory?), our article on the
barometer credits its invention to several Italians and no mention is made of Scottish involvement. Can you clarify this?
