View over Stotfield Bay towards Jura Stotfield Bay is an intriguing placename and it includes an element of my surname. Here it stands out as a Scots name among mainly Gaelic names. In this context it probably means field used by an ox or bull, or possibly an old horse. On the east coast of Scotland there is another Stotfield, known for a fishing disaster in 1806. What is the association between these Stotfields and the coast?
