Extractions: Hogg was born in 1770 at Ettrickhall farm in the Ettrick valley: the cottage where he was born does not survive, but a Victorian monument marks the spot. His father, a sheep-farmer, became bankrupt in 1777, and as a result the young Hogg's formal schooling came to a premature end, the rest of his childhood being spent working as a cowherd and later as a shepherd. During his twenties, Hogg was employed as a shepherd by a relative of his mother's, Mr Laidlaw of Blackhouse farm, in Yarrow. At Blackhouse Hogg had access to a good collection of books; and he began to read widely, and also to write. Thereafter Hogg earned his living partly through various farming projects, and partly as a professional writer. In these roles he divided much of his time between Edinburgh and his native Ettrick Forest. Hogg published mainly poetry until he was in his late forties. A particularly notable poem from this period is

The Ratlin' Bog There are a great number of songs sung by the Corries (including Come O'er the Stream Charlie, Come Ye By Atholl, Donald McGillivry, The Highlanders Farewll, Rise! Rise! etc) that were written by James Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd. Though everybody knows about Burns, not many know about this poet. Here is a brief history of his life, followed by words of two songs. James Hogg was born in the borders village of Ettrick in the year 1770. He was the son of a shepherd ,and experienced a total of six months schooling in his childhood. His childhood mainly involved being a cowherd or shepherd - the wages at the time being a ewe lamb and a pair of shoes every six months! In his teens he taught himself to read and to play violin, both influences attributed to his mother and employer who allowed Hogg the free use of his library. When Hogg heard Tam O Shanter, he "resolved to be a poet and follow the steps of Burns". His inspiration came from the many border ballads and legends . He first published in 1800, with the rythmic "Donald McDonald". In 1819, Hogg published "Jacobite Relics of Scotland", the researching of which resulted in much hostility and suspicion of the Highlanders towards a Lowlander. The work was condemned by the Whig periodicals at the time, though his own Donald McGillivry was commended! Hoggs sense of humour and earthiness earned him many friends, all of whom recieved his hospitality. With his cottage at Lake Altrive becoming a school when he hired a tutor for his children. Reprimanded for allowing the children to interfer with his poems he said, "Pen! It might as well be in goose's wing. I cannot get writing any for the visits of my friends. I am never a day without some."

Mora Dickson Click on image for larger picture James Hogg was the other great poet of the Borders other than Robert Burns, a man of humble birth who taught himself the love of the written word, then in it recorded the events of the land he lived in. He met with others in the 'Tibbie Shiels Inn', kept by a widow. Hogg and his fellows made the inn as much of a place of culture as did Burns his local in Dumfries. James Hogg was born at Ettrick-hall cottage in 1770, his family's poverty making it difficult to get other than the most basic of education. Between 1790 to 1800, James Hogg was a shepherd to James Laidlaw, tenant of the farm of Blackhouse; Laidlaw's son William was for a long time connected with the great Sir Walter Scott, and his home at Abbottsford. Hogg decided to improve himself, discovered a talent for poetry, and composed a number of famous poems and ballads. 'Kilmeny' is probably the most famous, but 'Donald M'Donald' was certainly composed in 1800. Hogg was fond of retelling the old legends of his area. The ballad of 'Mess John' concerned a wizardly priest who bewitched 'Bonny May of Craigieburn', compelling her to visit him once a month. Her cries of despair were the terror of the neighbourhood, until the Covenanters Hab Dab and Davie Din stopped her and shot the priest.

Extractions: A study of the relationship between Sir Walter Scott and James Hogg (1770-1835), the Ettrick Shepherd, is important in the light of the recent belated recognition of Hogg as a major Scottish writer. Hogg's present standing, founded mainly on a new appreciation of his most significant work The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner , is in stark contrast to the neglect that he has suffered since Scott's day. Though Hogg did enjoy considerable success and popularity during his lifetime, his fame was based on his poetry, which is now all but forgotten and rarely read. His success was also partly due to his association with Scott, whose patronage and friendship was to provide Hogg with valuable contacts and financial help. The two writers were both raised in the Scottish Borders, although in Scott's case only partly. Scott's upbringing in

Extractions: Hoggâs novels were extensively bowdlerized throughout the nineteenth and well into the twentieth century, damaging his reputation and his position both in literature and in the collectible market. Original versions of his novels, while extremely scarce, have never commanded prices commensurate with his influence on literature or with lesser works by his contemporaries. A republication of the original unexpurgated novels by the University of South Carolina and the University of Edinburgh, has begun to revive interest in Hogg as a collectible and influential author. The regard in which Hogg was held by his contemporaries is made clear in this letter from Byron, unearthed in 1887 and first published in The Archivist Volume 3 Number 1, October, 1888. Itâs absence from Mooreâs collections of Byronâs Journals and Correspondence, no doubt, abets Hoggâs obscurity.
