I agree entirely with your interpretation ...

... I read it as

Who has ever been as good as us? Very few, and none of them are alive today.

Meaning that the Scots are the current best people in the world ... I don't know that I'd exclude a few of my non-Scottish friends (or include certain Scottish politicians) but it's a proud boast not an inferiority complex ... unless Bell is starting with one of his own ...!

Well, not necessarily the Scots, either: something I should have also mentioned is that I understand the "we" generally to refer to the assembled company. Though it could include absent friends, I suppose.
