Ebenezer Scroggie (1792-1836)

Death: 1836 Location: Canongate Kirkyard , Edinburgh, Scotland Photo taken by: Kim Traynor In his diaries, Charles Dickens states that his celebrated fictional character Ebenezer Scrooge stems from a grave marker which he saw in 1841, while taking an evening walk in the Canongate Kirkyard. The headstone was for Ebenezer Scroggie. The marker identified Scroggie as a "meal man" (corn merchant), but Dickens misread this as "mean man" , due to the fading light and his mild dyslexia. The grave marker was lost during construction work at part of the Kirkyard in 1932.
