Inverbervie which means mouth of the River Bervie is a small coastal town on the North Sea coast. It dates to at least the 12th century although it's likely that there was a settlement here for much longer. The harbour was once important but over the years a shingle reef built up offshore and eventually the harbour was abandoned. The town became industrialised in the late 1700's with Flax spinning dominating. By the early 1900's this ended.
Today it's a small town with a selection of shops, cafes and pubs. The coast is pretty and it's worth a stop on a bike ride, it's a good distance from Stonehaven in the north or Montrose in the south so works well as a turnaround point.
