Have you tiled the floor and have gaps around the edge? Thin slivers of tile would be best but you need an electric tile saw to produce them.
1" gap 
thats quite a bit!
Consider filling up the hollows - a bit at a time - with any scrap pieces of tile, until you are close to the adhesive level. It doesn't have to be perfect, just enough to support the new surface tile.
Depending on how much needs doing, a thickish layer of plaster (the stuff that comes ready mixed in tubs, and is claimed to cover 2" in one pass) may help....but ignore the 2" bit - it sags like hell.

can you not add a pic of it mate ?
the way I am picturing it, the end of the tile is 1" away from the wall, but sloping away, can you not cut a few slivers of the tiles you have, put one in place with addy, let set then put another sliver on top to bring the tiles out level, obviously you will get better help if we could see the actual problem
