James Hogg, The 'Ettrick Shepherd' (1770-1835) :
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.

SCOTT, HOGG AND THE AESTHETICS OF CLASS
In the space HOGG, SCOTT AND GENRE , I emphasise the different methods of composition that the two authors use. Is it possible to assign the different genres to different social classes? The ballads to the great mass of the population, the novel to the middle classes? Such a sweeping generalisation is possible, but reduces overlapping, interaction and dialogue to a minimum. At the same time, a basically Marxist argument proposes that this is indeed the case, for the novel is set down, therefore conformist, while the ballad is flexible, open and potentially subversive. At the same time, we shall see that Scott disliked Hogg's account of the Covenanters because it was unfavourable to the Royalist cause. It could also be stated that this simplistic division between the oral and the written ignores the ballad's lack of flexibility. Magdalene Redkop argues that 'the literary story is printed or linear..[b]allads by contrast, consist of repetition and refrain which create a circular or spatial sense of pattern: literally an enclosure.' (34) The circular or cyclical nature of ballads might correspond to the patterns of reality, but such a structure crushes the aspiring spirit. 67 It has been remarked by all the historians of that period, that the proceedings of Clavers about this time were severe in the extreme. The rising, both in the north at the same time, rendered the season somewhat ticklish. Still the Lowlands were then perfectly peaceable; but he seemed determined, lest he should be called away, to destroy the Covenanters, and all that hankered after civil and religious liberty, root and branch. Certainly his behaviour at Chapel-hope that morning, was sufficient to stamp his character for even in that district, where it is still held in higher detestation than that of the arch-fiend himself.

OLD MORTALITY VERSUS THE BROWNIE OF BODSBECK
Both novels deal with the Covenanters. Old Mortality was published in December 1816 and The Brownie of Bodsbeck in 1818. According to Hogg, and as recorded in his Memoirs , they exchanged their difference of opinion in the following way: 106-7 (Scott) '...it is a false and unfair picture of the times and the existing characters altogether. An exhaggerated and unfair picture!' (Hogg) '...in no instance have I related a story of a cruelty or a murder which is not literally true. An' that's a great deal mair than you can say for your tale o' Auld Mortality.' (Hogg) 'But whoever wrote Auld Mortality kenning what I ken an' what ye ken I wadna wonder at you being ill-pleased with my tale if ye thought it written as a counterpoise to that you but ye ken weel it was written lang afore the other was heard of.' (Scott) 'I only tell you that with the exception of Old Nanny the crop-eared Covenanter who is by far the best character you ever drew in you life I dislike the tale exceedingly and assure you it is a distorted a prejudiced and untrue picture of the Royal party.' (Hogg) 'It is a devilish deal truer than your's though; and on that ground I make my appeal to my country.'

" The Ettrick Shepherd ", James Hogg (1770-1835) was born in Ettrick, Selkirk. William Wordsworth, for whom Yarrow was a place of pilgrimage, admired him as a romantic poet, but it is for his "The Private Memoirs and confessions of a Justified Sinner" that Hogg is now principally remembered. He was known to frequent the Tibbie Shiel's Inn. This hotel can still be visited today, just off the A708 Selkirk-Moffat road at the St. Mary's Loch.

Without any real difficulty Hogg could have become a United States senator in 1896, but he was content to return to private practice. After his wife died in 1895, he invited his older sister, Mrs. Martha Frances Davis, to come to his home to help rear his children. Though he was in debt when he relinquished the governor's chair to his attorney general, Charles A. Culberson, Hogg was able to build up a sizable family fortune by his law practice and wise investments in city property and oil lands. He successfully inculcated in his children a worthy interest in individual and public welfare as evidenced by numerous gifts to the University of Texas and various services to Texas as a whole, as well as to the cities of Houston and Austin.

The Massacre of Glencoe Bonnie Dundee and Killiecrankie Macphersons Rant The Songs of James Hogg ... 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."

Hogg in Youth
James Hogg was born in 1770 at Ettrick Hall, at the top of the Ettrick Valley. The second of four sons of an impoverished farmer, he left school after six months' formal education. Aged seven, he began to work on the lowest rung of the farming ladder - as a cowherd. But he had learned, at his mother's knee, the great oral tradition of ballads and folklore of the Borders. And her father, "the far-famed Will O'Phaup" was reputed to have been the last man to converse with the fairies. In his mid-teens, James Hogg taught himself to read and write, and to play the fiddle, and entered the skilled profession of shepherding. He began making songs and verses for local gatherings. The other young people of the valleys called him "Jamie the Poeter". His career had begun
Hogg and Scott
At the turn of the eighteenth century, Hogg was working as a shepherd on the farm on Blackhouse in Yarrow for the Laidlaw family, who opened their hearts and library to the young shepherd poet. It was at this time that Walter Scott, the newly appointed sheriff of Selkirk, was roaming the Border Valleys in pursuit of the disappearing ballads of the Borders. Through the Laidlaws, he met James Hogg and his mother who had a rich store of the ballads.

This collection of books and manuscripts was gifted to the University of Otago Library by the Gilkison family, who are related to James Hogg (1770-1835), the Ettrick poet. The collection is divided up into three: manuscripts works by Hogg , and works by others Although small in number, the manuscripts provide a small window in which to peer through at Hogg and his world. The letters from John G. Lockhart, Thomas Pringle, Anna Maria Hall, and Sir Walter Scott make interesting reading. As expected in such collections, there are later manuscripts that offer further details on Hogg and the family links. Apart from the remains of the Chaldee manuscript, which is registered as a de Beer manuscript, they were all owned by the Gilkison family.

Click on the thumbnail to view the full-size image of the title page of James Hogg's novel "The Brownie of Bodsbeck"
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

Contact Us Members of the Scottish Genealogical Society James Hogg James Hogg was born in 1770 in the Ettrick Valley, the second of four sons of a poor, tenant farmer. James only attended school for six months as his parents lost all their money and were evicted from their home. James was taken from school and placed as a general labourer and shepherd on a neighbouring farm. He remained a shepherd until his late thirties. His family had been steeped in the folklore and oral tradition of the Border country (it was said that Hogg’s maternal grandfather ‘Will O’ Phaup’ was the last man to have conversed with the fairies); indeed, his mother met Sir Walter Scott (Scott was to become a life-long friend of James Hogg) who was scouring the Borders for disappearing ballads, and sang some songs for him. Hogg later wrote of the meeting: “My mother chanted the ballad of auld Maitlin to him, with which he was delighted, and asked her if she thought it had ever been in print. Her answer was, ‘O na sir, it was niver prented i’ the warld, for my brothers an’ me learned it an’ many mair frae auld Andrew Moor, and he learned it frae auld Baubie Mettlin … there are mony queer stories about hersel’, but O she had been a grand singer o’ auld songs and ballads.”
