Who was the real Ebenezer Scrooge? 

Who were the real life inspirations for Charles Dickens' Ebenezer Scrooge?
How did a misread inscription on a gravestone in Edinburgh's Canongate Kirkyard inspire Charles Dickens to write A Christmas Carol?
And who was the real-life miser, credited with inspiring the man character?
Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol in 6 weeks in 1843. The novella was an instant bestseller and has never been out of print since.
This is the story of Ebenezer Scroggie and John Elwes and their curious places in literary history.
Follow my adventures as I travel through the landscapes and history of Scotland. I make quick, quirky and (hopefully) funny content about Scotland's past, people and scenery.
I look for the hidden stories, forgotten people and beautiful scenery of Scotland and try to find the funny in the darkness, obscurity and occasional absurdity of our history.
