Conan Doyle's Edinburgh
3: Portobello
We find ourselves in Portobello, where Conan Doyle came after his Grandmother’s flat had been sold. It is here that Conan Doyle probably first saw the sea; he was to spend much time at sea, travelling to Greenland and to West Africa. Owen tells us how significant this was to Conan Doyle’s artistic outlook including how it informed his negative perceptions of the Ku Klux Klan.
