Tidal bore, Glencaple
'20-foot tidal bore. River Nith at Glencaple, 1958
At Glencaple, close to the mouth of the River Nith, on the north
shore of the Solway, where the tidal range is considerable and the
tidal current strong, the flood tide (from 16 feet upwards) under
certain conditions comes in as a bore which may move at a rate of
five knots or even more.'
