The Bervie Water (from Gaelic : bir-bhuidhe ( pleasant brook )) is a river in the Scottish council area of Aberdeenshire . It is created by the successive confluence of four brooks, which arise at a height of about 360 m on the slopes of the eastern Grampians .
The barrel of the Bervie Water describes in simplified form the shape of the letter "S". It initially runs through Drumtochty Forest in an east-southeast direction. About halfway through it crosses the A90 and then, following the course of the A90, turns to the southwest. After another four kilometers, the direction of the river changes again to 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 has little water and moves slowly at a speed of about 1.6 km / h. In rainier seasons, the river swells and flows away much faster. For this reason, bank reinforcements were already in place on some sections in the 19th century, which protect the surrounding lands from flooding. Trout and salmon lived in Bervie Water at this time. On the shore about two kilometers northwest of Inverbervie is the listed manor house Allardice Castle .
