The self-taught English scientist Michael Faraday had been experimenting with the recently-discovered link between electricity and magnetism, but although he had a natural feel for how things worked he did not have a good background in mathematics and so could not formulate ways of describing and checking his ideas empirically. That task fell to someone else: a brilliant young Scottish mathematician called James Clerk Maxwell. Professor Jim Al-Khalili explores his birthplace and sees some unique watercolours of his early life by his cousin Jemima Wedderburn.
