Work to improve a notorious hairpin bend on the A9 near a scenic viewpoint about 90 kilometres north-northeast of Inverness at Berriedale Braes revealed evidence of a Mesolithic camp including an array of stone tools. Archaeologists believe the site was used as a base for hunting, and that the finds date from 6,000 BCE - some of the earliest traces of humans to have lived in the area. The finds will be displayed for the public to view at Dunbeath Heritage Museum in the coming weeks.
