Bidding for the contract to upgrade the infamous Berriedale Braes has opened. The Scottish Government which is paying for the project expects it to come in for £9 million.

The alignment of the road and the tight bends that all drivers in the North know so well are to be improved.

The work is expected to commence next year.
