St Mary's Loch
Tibbie Shiels Inn
This inn is reputedly haunted by the ghost of Isabelle Shiel - known as 'Tibbie' - who opened the hostelry in 1823. She had been left destitute following the death of her husband, but turned her fortunes around by her determination and hard work here.
Her apparition has been sighted drifting silently in the bedrooms, patrons have been touched by an unseen cold hand, and objects have been seen moving of their own accord.
