Isabella Steven or Tibbie Stein was the daughter of a tenant farmer from Littlehill or Little Hill Farm (NS467305) that adjoined the Burns's farm at Lochlea.〔Boyle, Page 86〕〔 'Stein' is an alternative form of the surname 'Steven'. Littlehill had three acres of land that are said to have been little better than peat moss.〔 She is also said to have lived in Tarbolton.''〔 ==Life and character== Isabella or Tibbie was regarded as having been very good looking and at the age of seventeen Robert Burns was greatly attracted to her.〔 The poet ''"deemed himself doing well in his courtship"'' until 'Tibbie' came into a legacy and dowry of £75 at which point she decided herself above a mere farmer's son. She married a more prosperous suitor soon after.〔 Aged nine or ten at the time of these events, Isobel Burns, sister of the poet, is the only source of Isabella Stevens identification as being the 'Tibbie' of the song.〔MacKay, Page 80〕 A Tarbolton tradition holds that 'Tibbie' lived in the village on the west side of Burns Street on the corner of Garden Street.〔 Her father is said to have been a wealthy farmer.〔(Burns Encyclopedia ) Retrieved : 2012-10-10〕
