10. Arthur Conan Doyle Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Doyle is known for creating famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. He trained as a doctor, gaining his degree from Edinburgh University in 1881. Readers took to Doyle’s detective stories and the series was very popular but Doyle wanted to work on more serious writing so he killed the character off. A public outcry meant he later resurrected the character. (Image: Getty Images)
