Bervie Water

The Bervie Water ( from Gaelic: bir - Bhuidhe ( pleasant Stream ) ) is a river in the Scottish unitary authority Aberdeenshire. It is formed by the successive confluence of four rivers that flow down from about 360 m above sea level on the slopes of the eastern Grampians.

The course of the Bervie Water describes simplifies the shape of the letter "S". He first runs through Drumtochty Forest southeasterly direction. About halfway it crosses the A90 and then rotates, following the course of the A90, to the southwest from. After another four kilometers, the river changes direction again after east-southeast. In Inverbervie the Bervie Water is first crossed by the A92, and then flows into the North Sea.

In summer, the Bervie Water performs a little water and is sluggish at a speed of about 1.6 km / h To rainier seasons swells the river and flows significantly faster. Already in the 19th century embankments were present for this reason, in some sections which protect the surrounding lands from flooding. At that lived trout and salmon in Bervie Water. On the shore about two miles north- west of Inverbervie is the Grade II listed manor house Allardice Castle.
