And he was too - in 1814 Sir Walter Scott, dined here while on a trip to Orkney & Shetland with the Commissioners of the Northern Lighthouses - he kept a detailed diary for the 6 week voyage and the result was The Pirate http://www.walterscott.lib.ed.ac.uk/works/novels/pirate.html Sadly no longer an Inn but an Indian Restaurant.
