An Dun Broch in Berriedale View south over the An Dun Broch in Berriedale. The Broch is the ruined 'mound' on the right. Judging by area of ruin, this Broch would have been relatively large and was surrounded with trenches and defensive structures. The mound to the left of the Broch is not shown as a feature on the OS 25k or 50k mapping. However it does appear as though it might be artificial. The neighbouring Broch at Bad a' Choilich is in sight, about 1km away

Southbound A9 towards Berriedale The A9 is a strategic link between the Highlands of Scotland and the Central Belt. Running for 273 miles, it is the longest road in Scotland and the fifth-longest A-road in the United Kingdom. Historically it was the main road between Edinburgh and John o' Groats but its importance has been eclipsed somewhat in the south by the A90 across the Forth Road Bridge and the M90 motorway, which now links Edinburgh more directly with Perth, and the M9, which is now the main road between Edinburgh and Bridge of Allan.
