Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was born in Edinburgh where he
qualified as a doctor, but it was his writing which brought him
fame, with the creation of Sherlock Holmes, the first scientific
detective. He was also a convert to spiritualism and a social
reformer who used his investigative skills to prove the innocence
of individuals.
