Not if they are under 1 metre high if next to a road or 2 metres high elsewhere. It’s always recommended to check with your neighbours and the local authority if you are unsure. Other restrictions may apply, for example if a fence might impact driver visibility on nearby roads.
Berriedale
Berriedale is a small estate village on the northern east shore of Caithness, Scotland, on the A9 road in between Helmsdale and Lybster, close to the limit between Caithness as well as Sutherland. It is protected 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 high decrease in the landscape (brae is a Scots word for hillside, a loaning of the Scottish Gaelic bràighe). The roadway drops down outstanding (13% over 1,3 km) to link a river, before increasing once more (13% over 1,3 kilometres), with a variety of sharp bends in the road-- although several of the hairpin flexes and also other nearby gradients have actually been eased in the last few years. The impracticality (and cost) of bridging the Berriedale Braes stopped the building of the Inverness-Wick Far North Line along the east coast of Caithness; instead the train runs inland through the Flow Country. Berriedale is located at the end of the eighth stage of the coastal John o' Groats Route.
