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.
