Abstract
Southwest Scotland comprises that part of the Southern Uplands west of the A74 and the coastal lowlands along the Solway Firth (Figure 18.1). Little is known of the Quaternary history of the area prior to the last, Devensian ice-sheet glaciation, although, as in the rest of Scotland multiple glaciation may be inferred from the evidence from neighbouring regions, as well as the presence of landforms of glacial erosion that have developed over a long period.
