A famous Sherlockian once said, "A scion society consists of two Sherlockians, a copy of the canon, and a bottle.
In a pinch you can despence with one of the Sherlockians."...John Bennett Shaw

As Sherlockians get around the country and around the world they find that they have certain goals and ideas in common with other Sherlockians. Here we list those other scions (societies) that the Nashville Scholars claim as partners in our quest to "keep green the memory of Sherlock Holmes."

(This is certainly not an exhaustive list, just a list of close Sherlockian friends. All the links
on this page take you away from the Nashville Scholar site. Please return!)
