Berriedale
Berriedale is a small estate town on the northern eastern coast of Caithness, Scotland, on the A9 roadway between Helmsdale as well as Lybster, near to the boundary in 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 south of Berriedale, en route to the north, the A9 passes the Berriedale Braes, a high drop in the landscape (brae is a Scots word for hill, a loaning of the Scottish Gaelic bràighe). The road falls outstanding (13% over 1,3 km) to link a river, before rising once again (13% over 1,3 km), with a variety of sharp bends in the road-- although several of the barrette bends as well as various other neighboring slopes have actually been reduced over the last few years. The impracticality (as well as expense) of bridging the Berriedale Braes prevented the structure of the Inverness-Wick Far North Line along the east shore of Caithness; rather the train runs inland via the Flow Country. Berriedale lies at the end of the eighth phase of the coastal John o' Groats Trail.
