∙ 8y agoTher have been many arguments based on this. In recent times (since 2004) it appears a report made via a UK parlimentarian based in Scotland came up with this;
Stoies that the real "Scrooge", appears to have been an Edinburgh merchant, could not have been more different from his literary counterpart.
But the gloaming of an evening in the Capital, allied with an episode of mild dyslexia suffered by Charles Dickens, has forever associated Ebenezer Lennox Scroggie with one of the Victorian author's most famous characters.
In life, Scroggie was apparently a rambunctious, generous and licentious man who gave wild parties.
However, it was in 1841 when his entire life was misconstrued by Dickens.
Dickens was in the capital to deliver a lecture to an audience of Edinburgh notables. He was wandering the city, killing time before the talk, when he visited the Canongate Kirk graveyard.
There, as revealed by his (Dickens) diaries, he saw a memorial slab which read: "Ebenezer Lennox Scroggie - meal man". The description referred to his main trade as a corn merchant. However, the author mistakenly translated it as "mean man".
Though he was shocked by the description, it gave him food for thought and two years later, art imitated life - or so the author believed.
