There lived in Islandanny a local poet called Patrick Stack. He made many songs about the people of the Lots and this is one:

There is a bowld hero who lived in the Lots,
He has an old cow and a crampy old ass,
He has a fine farm, three acres of Rea
Plant heath there this morning tomorrow it will be hay.
