history
In 1362 the Scottish King David II raised Inverbervie to the status of Royal Burgh . The reason for this was probably the fact that the king was shipwrecked at Inverbervie on his return from exile in France and set foot on Scottish soil for the first time at this point. In 1788, Scotland's first flax mill was built in Inverbervie and the village developed into a center of the textile and food industries. In 1969 a statue was unveiled in honor of the city's most famous son, Hercules Linton , who built the famous Cutty Sark tea clipper .
