Berriedale
is a small estate village on the northern east coast of
Caithness, Scotland, close to the boundary between
Caithness and Sutherland. It is sheltered from the North
Sea. Berriedale is located at the end of the eighth
stage of the coastal John o' Groats Trail.
In 2019, archaeologists made the finds from the
Mesolithic, the Middle Stone Age, in an excavation
carried out ahead of construction work at Berriedale
Braes. Evidence of the camp included an array of stone
tools, such as flints. Archaeologists believe the finds
date from 6,000 BC and that the camp was used as a base
for hunting.
