Old travel Blog photograph of a vintage car and people on the Berriedale Braes road in Caithness, Scotland. Just south of the village of Berriedale, on the way to the north, the A9 road passes the Berriedale Braes, a steep drop in the landscape, Brae is a Scots word for hillside. The impracticality, and cost, of bridging the Berriedale Braes prevented the building of the Inverness to Wick Far North Line along the east coast of Caithness; instead the railway runs inland through the Flow Country. Berriedale is located at the end of the eighth stage of the coastal John o' Groats Trail.
