Ann Lingard
£25.00
‘Like a hungry gull, Ann Lingard explores her beloved Solway
shoreline for every living detail that catches her eye. In so doing
she has created a portrait of this nation-cleaving water that is as
broad and deep as the estuary itself’
MARK COCKER, author and naturalist
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.
