Actually, Scotland has had an impact far in excess of what one would expect of a country of 7 million.

To clarify: the Scots have had a tremendous historical impact. Scottish history arguably has not. The Wars of the Roses and the internecine warfare of the Italian city-states had a widespread impact on European history, but a great many Kings of Scots came and went without ever influencing much outside Scotland.

If Scotland produced Scots who had a tremendous impact on the world then the country by definition had a tremendous impact on the world.
