Son?
Any reason that the son is lumped in with the father? I don't know anything about them, but it sounds like he deserves his own page? Deadstar (talk) 08:31, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Agreed, I've boldly split them: Harvey Littlejohn. --Canley (talk) 01:19, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

Expanded the article
I have substantially expanded this article. I think this is justified, given the importance of Littlejohn in the development of 19th Century Edinburgh. There's quite a lot if information available in published sources, so I've been able to add several new citations.

Unfortuanely, some of the old citations contained dead links, which I was not able to resolve, so I have replaced these where possible.

Rightly or wrongly, I also deleted the statement about him being an inspiration for Sherlock Holmes. I couldn't find any evidence for this. (Daniel Shashower's definitive biography of A. Conan Doyle, like many other sources, mentions Dr Bell in this respect, but makes no mention of Littlejohn.) But if anyone has more information about this, by all means re-instate it.
