Edinburgh is significant to Sherlock Holmes (2009) because it is the birthplace of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes. Doyle was born in Edinburgh in 1859 and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, where he met Dr. Joseph Bell. Bell was a surgeon known for his strong observation skills and ability to notice small details, which inspired Holmes's detective skills. I found this information on the University of Edinburgh's website, which explains the connection between Doyle and Bell. This source is an example of low barriers to entry because people can share information and research online for others to learn from. Mapping this location on COVE adds a grassroots layer to a story usually told top-down because it shows the real people and places behind the Sherlock Holmes story and helps future students discover more about its history.
