      Tibbie Shiels & St Mary's Loch

      Tibbie Shiel's Inn is named after a widow, Tibbie Shiel who lived in what was then known as St Mary's Cottage in the late eighteenth and nineteen centuries. Tibbie was initially the servant of James Hogg's parent.

      When she was widowed she had to support 6 children and she achieved this by providing board and lodgings in the cottage. Through her personality and determination the Inn became a frequently used stopping point for the literati and famous of that time.

      _____________________

      The historic Tibbie Shiels Inn takes its name from Isabella (Tibbie) Shiel, who, after the death of her mole-catcher husband in 1824, began to take lodgers at her small estate cottage to support her family of six. There were 13 beds in what is now the bar and in an attic. Tibbie's kitchen had two double box beds along with a grandfather clock, spinning wheel and a huge open grate with white-washed 'jaws'. Described as a small active woman with a great sense of humour, Tibbie played hostess to many famous men until her death in 1878, in her 96th year. Publisher Robert Chambers, recommended her inn in 'The Picture of Scotland' in 1827. The Ettrick Shepherd, James Hogg, was a regular visitor: she knew the writer all her life, having worked as a girl in his mother's household. Hogg's friend Sir Walter Scott was a regular and it's likely poet William Wordsworth also visited. Meetings with James Hogg at Tibbie's are said to have inspired Christopher North's famous 'Noctes Ambrosianae', in the best known of which he compares Tibbie's with a wren's nest. Legend has it that the morning after one of these nights of feasting, recitations and philosophising, accompanied likely by a few drams, Hogg was heard to call: "Tibbie, bring in the Loch!" Other names appearing in the visitors' books, still existing in the care of Tibbie's descendants, are Robert Louis Stevenson, historian Thomas Carlyle, the angler and poet Thomas Stoddart and future prime minister, William Gladstone.
