Berriedale
Berriedale is a tiny estate village on the north east coast of Caithness, Scotland, on the A9 roadway in between Helmsdale and also Lybster, close to the boundary between Caithness as well as Sutherland. It is protected from the North Sea. The town has a parish church in the Church of Scotland. Just southern of Berriedale, on the way to the north, the A9 passes the Berriedale Braes, a high decrease in the landscape (brae is a Scots word for hillside, a borrowing of the Scottish Gaelic bràighe). The roadway falls considerably (13% over 1,3 km) to bridge a river, prior to rising once again (13% over 1,3 kilometres), with a variety of sharp bends in the roadway-- although some of the hairpin flexes and also various other nearby gradients have been relieved in recent times. The impracticality (and also price) of linking the Berriedale Braes stopped the building of the Inverness-Wick Far North Line along the east coastline of Caithness; rather the train runs inland with the Flow Country. Berriedale lies at the end of the eighth phase of the coastal John o' Groats Route.
