Berriedale (Old Norse Berudalr), a river of Latheron parish, SE Caithness, formed 2¼ miles NW of Morven (2313 feet) by two head-streams, Feith Gaineimh Mhor and Feith Chaorunn Mhor, which rise near the Sutherland border at 1300 feet above sea-level, and have a respective easterly course of 5 and 3¾ miles. Thence it flows 16¾ miles E, SE, S, and SE again, receiving 42 burns and rills, and at 3 furlongs from the sea uniting with Langwell Water. Small in summer, in winter large and impetuous, it contains salmon, grilse, and little trout; its valley is deep and beautifully wooded.—Ord. Sur., shs. 109,110,1876-77.
