The tranquil #Solway Firth at Silloth, #Cumbria. Across the water is the coast of Kirkcudbrightshire, now Dumfries & Galloway. Criffel (570m/1870 ft) dominates.
In #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek my images focus on the natural world. After the sky on Ascension Day, today it’s the turn of the sea.
Connecting with nature is a God-given way of enhancing mental health, alleviating anxiety, enriching human life, and deepening awareness of our environment.

Speaking of the #Solway, I made a series of films for work about #Smugglers and their place in #Galloway #history .
If you like a bit of swashbuckling then this might entertain.

This winter I have been lured to the #Solway #coast and the #sea to tell some of the stories of the many #shipwrecks that have happened along it. #Galloway has long links with sea trade.

After obtaining permission to exhume him, they turned back towards Ramsey. They had gotten no further than Heston Island, when a storm blew up and claimed the small ship entirely, with no survivors.

The Bride-groom’s father and the bride-to-be decided that the Bride-groom’s body must be brought back to the Isle of Man, so along with her brother and other relatives and friends of the deceased they made their way to Colvend to retrieve it.

The Bridegroom’s body was first buried near the shore where shipwrecked sailors had been previously buried, then moved on the Sheriff’s order to Colvend Kirkyard. The Brother-in-law made it back to the Isle of Man where the Bride-to-be and the family were
devastated by the news.

Pretending not to understand English, the Manxmen continued toward their landing spot at Port o’ Warren. They had hardly gone any distance though, when the cutter fired and killed the Bridegroom. The Bride’s brother panicked, put in at Colvend and took flight. Their boat was towed back to the customs house at Kirkcudbright.

Here's a #Sunday #Story from the #Sea...
A young man from Ramsey, in the north of the Island, once took it upon himself to smuggle some bags of salt to help pay for his impending marriage.
On the eve of the wedding, in defiance of the advice of relatives, he sailed with his soon to be Brother-in-law to Colvend. As they travelled up the Solway, a cutter named Prince Edward Augustus ordered them to ‘lay-to’ with a megaphone.
