Dr. Finlay

Dr. Finlay is the hero of a series of stories by Scottish author A. J. Cronin. The stories were used as the basis for the long-running BBC television series Dr. Finlay's Casebook, screened from 1962 to 1971. The stories, based on autobiographical notes, centered on Dr. Finlay's general medical practice in a small Scottish country town called Tannochbrae.
