Inverbervie

Inverbervie (from Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Biorbhaidh or Biorbhaigh, "mouth of the River Bervie")[3] is a small town on the north-east coast of Scotland, south of Stonehaven.

[3] Historic forms, such as Haberberui from 1290,[3][4] demonstrate that Gaelic inbhir, "estuary", has succeeded the original Brittonic element aber, with the same meaning (c.f.

[5] A small harbour in the town was important in early years but despite improvements by Thomas Telford in 1819, disappeared by 1830 owing to the buildup of the shingle bar at the river mouth.

The Aberdeenshire unitary council area, which now includes Inverbervie, was created when the region system was eradicated in 1996.

Prominent local buildings include Hallgreen Castle, founded in 1376, standing on a bluff overlooking the sea towards the southern end of the town.

With effect from the 2011 Scottish Parliamentary elections, Inverbervie will be back within the Mearns and Angus constituency, following boundary changes.

And, in the Scottish Parliament, the town is served by SNP MSP for Angus North and Mearns, Mairi Gougeon.

The fireworks display is organised and held by the caravan site every year on the Sunday nearest to Bonfire Night.

Inverbervie has regular bus links to Stonehaven, Montrose, Aberdeen and Perth via the X7 Coastrider route.

It was served by Bervie railway station, the terminus of a branch line from Montrose, from 1865 to 1951, with freight services discontinued in 1966.
