		Stone envisaged downwastage in Nithsdale to a height of 46-61m when the dwindling glacier seemed to be no longer active but was "shattered by great fissures and crevasses into blocks of dead ice which wasted away in situ" (Stone 1957).
		The mean and maximum grain sizes for the Nithsdale sediments (Table 1) and their general coarse gravel nature indicate that this is likely and it would only be in finer grained sediments that flow tills may be preserved as recognisable flow units, or as eroded remnants (see Huddart and Bennett 1997).
		However, in Nithsdale this is not the case and whilst there are individual cycles of fining upwards sequences which indicate the waning flow from one depositional event, there is no overall fining upward sequence.

	Historical perspective for Nithsdale (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In most of the other two divisions of the county the soil is wet, and, when ploughed early in winter, is so apt to run into grass, and to have corn sown on it choked, that it cannot, without imprudence on the part of the husbandman, receive the seed till spring.
		In the reign of David I., Nithsdale, then called Stranith, was held by a Celtic chief of the name of Dunegal, from whom genealogists trace the descent of the celebrated Randolph, Earl of Moray.
		Duvenald, the younger son of Dunegal of Stranith, appears to have obtained the barony of Sanquhar, the lands of Morton, and some other possessions in Upper Nithsdale; and he was probably the Duvenald who, along with Ulric, led the men of Galloway at the Battle of the Standard in 1138, and fell in the conflict.

		Upper Nithsdale has been decimated byn the pit closures under the Tories, so efforts must be made to attract new industry to prevent the steady depopulation of this area.
