"In the afternoon we rode by Prestonfield, and saw the place of battle [Prestonpans 1745], and Colonel Gardiner's house. The Scotch here affirm, that he fought on foot after he was dismounted, and refused to take quarter. Be it as it may, he is now 'where the wicked cease from troubling, and where the weary are at rest.'" -- John Wesley, 1751
