"We next pass Stott-Park, by some called Oxen-Park; (Stott in the North country dialect signifies an Ox, but is by the farmers so called till four years of age, after which age he is called an Ox.) This estate is the property of a Mr Brathwaite; here are two good houses, with pretty gardens; their situation is low, without any extensive prospect or view of the Lake; but there are some flat meadows before them, with beautiful copses of wood interspersed, which afford a pleasing variety; many of them jut into the Lake, and indent the shore, making several bays and peninsulas, which at high-water become, some of them, islands."
