BERVIE or INVERBERVIE, royal burgh, Kincardine shire, Scotland, at the mouth of Bervie Water, terminus of the L.N.E. railway's branch line from Montrose, which lies 14m. S.W. Pop. (1931) 1,032. The leading industry is flax-spinning. Bervie, with Arbroath, Brechin, Forfar and Montrose, returns one member (for the "Montrose burghs") to Parliament. David II., under stress of weather, landed here with his queen Joanna in 1341, and, out of gratitude for hospitality, granted them a charter, which James VI. confirmed. Hallgreen Castle (14th century), is kept in repair. About sm. south is the fishing village of Gourdon, where boat-building and fish-curing are car ried on. St. Ternan's, the Romanesque parish church of Arbuth nott, 21m. N.W., stands on the banks of the Bervie. In the chapel dedicated to St. Mary, which was afterwards added to it, is the burial-place of the Arbuthnotts. At Kinneff, 2m. N., on the coast, the Scottish regalia were concealed during the siege of Dunottar Castle.
