Berriedale
Berriedale is a little estate village on the northern eastern coastline of Caithness, Scotland, on the A9 road between Helmsdale and Lybster, near to the limit in between Caithness as well as Sutherland. It is sheltered from the North Sea. The town has a parish church in the Church of Scotland. Simply southern of Berriedale, heading to the north, the A9 passes the Berriedale Braes, a steep drop in the landscape (brae is a Scots word for hill, a loaning of the Scottish Gaelic bràighe). The roadway falls considerably (13% over 1,3 km) to bridge a river, before increasing once again (13% over 1,3 kilometres), with a number of sharp bends in the roadway-- although some of the hairpin flexes as well as various other neighboring slopes have actually been reduced recently. The impracticality (and also price) of bridging the Berriedale Braes protected against the building of the Inverness-Wick Far North Line along the east shore of Caithness; rather the railway runs inland with the Flow Country. Berriedale lies at the end of the eighth phase of the coastal John o' Groats Route.
