It chronicles the life of each by guiding the reader through Scotland and England, with entries arranged by county or unitary authority. Each entry includes the address, a description of the site's history and significance to Conan Doyle or Holmes, often an accompanying photograph and frequently a quotation from Conan Doyle.
