Firths and estuaries are liminal places, where land meets sea and tides meet freshwater. Their unique ecosystems
support a huge range of marine and other wildlife: human activity too is profoundly influenced by their waters and shores.
The Solway Firth – the crooked finger of water that both unites and divides Scotland and England – is a beautiful yet
unpredictable place and one of the least-industrialised natural large estuaries in Europe. Its history, geology and turbulent
character have long affected the way its inhabitants, both human and non-human, have learnt to live along and within its
ever-changing margins. |
