Berriedale

Scotland

Berriedale perches dramatically on Caithness's coast where the A99 winds between Wick and Helmsdale. This Highland village serves as a natural stopping point on the North Coast 500, with approximately 4 EV charging points for touring drivers. The settlement sits in a sheltered glen where moorland meets the North Sea, experiencing typical maritime conditions with frequent rainfall and strong coastal winds. The village is famous for Berriedale Braes, where the A99 plunges steeply toward the harbour in a series of hairpin bends that test both drivers and brakes.
