== Biography ==

On 19 november 1910, Adrian was born at Windlesham, Crowborough, Sussex. He was baptised on 2 january 1911. 

On 3 march 1916, he nearly died of pneumonia (aged about 6).

He received primary and initial secondary education at the private school named Hookstead in Crowborough (at the crossroad of Goldsmith Avenue and Beacon Road).

He had the chance to travel around the world. Between 1920 and 1929, he spent 24 months abroad in Australia, New Zealand, USA and Canada (2 times) and Africa. Each time to accompany his family during his father's lecture tours about spiritualism.

From 1929, Adrian and his bother [[Denis Percy Stewart Conan Doyle|Denis]] started to be interested in race cars. He drove an Anzani Frazer-Nash (''The Slug'') and received some trophies.

On 23 may 1938, he was married to [[Anna Charlotte Andersen]] by Rev. H. Horton at All Saints Church, Minstead, New Forest, Hampshire. At church were present [[Jean Elizabeth Leckie|Lady Conan Doyle]], [[Lena Annette Jean Conan Doyle|Lena Jean Conan Doyle]], [[Mary Louise Conan Doyle|Mary Conan Doyle]], [[Denis Percy Stewart Conan Doyle|Denis Conan Doyle]] as best man, [[Francis Doyle]], [[Francis Kingsley Doyle|Francis Doyle]], [[Innes Cliffe Foley|Innes Foley]], Marquis Julio de Amodio, Miss Angela Ashmead Bartlett, Miss and Mrs. Horton, Desmond Nicholas, Ambrose Sedgwick, Miss Cynthia Sedgwick, Robin Sanders-Clark, Miss Ruth Smith and Miss Babs Thorn. A reception was held at Cuffnels, Lyndhurst. 

On 25 may 1938, the couple left for a honeymoon in Cameroon.

In november 1938, the press reported the disappearance of Adrian's Python, named Tiko. It was found in the chimney of the Chelsea flat a few days later.

In 1940, [[Jean Elizabeth Leckie|Lady Conan Doyle]] died and the estate was managed by Adrian.

In 1944, Adrian served with the Navy from 12 march to 25 april and was then discharged (as being unfit for naval service).

In 1945, he wrote an essay about his father: [[The True Conan Doyle]] in reaction to [[Hesketh Pearson]] controversial [[Conan Doyle: His Life and Art|biography]].

Around 1946, Adrian and [[Anna Charlotte Andersen|Anna]] got bored with civilization so they lived for 6 months on a 30-foot schooner to study tropical marine life in Zanzibar. Adrian wrote a report of their expedition in ''Heaven Has Claws'' (John Murray, 1952).

Between 1947-1949, Adrian helped [[John Dickson Carr]] for his biography : [[The Life of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]] (1949).

Late december 1948 or early 1949, he took up residence in Tangier.

In 1952, Adrian supervised the Sherlock Holmes exhibition which toured 2 years in USA.

In 1954, he was the author with [[John Dickson Carr]] of the sherlockian pastiches collected in [[The Exploits of Sherlock Holmes]]. They wrote in collaboration the 4 or 5 first stories and the rest by Adrian alone (according to himself in an [[Interview of Adrian Conan Doyle at Lucens Castle|interview]]).

After the death of his brother [[Denis Percy Stewart Conan Doyle|Denis]] in 1955, Adrian had lawsuits against Denis' wife [[Nina Mdivani]] asking her important sums about his late brother's estate.

At the end of 1962, Adrian and Henry E. Lester started a film company named "Sir Nigel Films", in memory of his father's [[Sir Nigel|historical novel]]. The company produced 3 movies related to [[Sherlock Holmes]] and [[Brigadier Gerard]] : [[A Study in Terror (movie 1965)|A Study in Terror]] (1965), [[The Adventures of Gerard]] (1970) and [[The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (movie 1970)|The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes]] (1970).

In 1965, Adrian and [[Anna Charlotte Andersen|Anna]] moved to Switzerland in the Lucens Castle.

In 1966, he founded the ''Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Foundation'' in the Lucens Castle (Switzerland) in order to preserve the memory and reputation of his famous father.

Besides his collection related to his father, he had a big collection of armours and old keys. 

Adrian died on 3 june 1970, aged 59 of an heart attack. His ashes were interred in the battlements of the Lucens Castle.

In his [[Adrian Doyle, Son of the Writer, Dies|obituary]], Adrian Conan Doyle is evoked as a big game hunter, fisherman, zoologist, explorer and author.
