Dunbeath Castle is located on the east coast of Caithness, 2 kilometres south of Dunbeath, in northern Scotland.

Badbea
Locality
Badbea is a former clearance village perched on the steep slopes above the cliff tops of Berriedale on the east coast of Caithness, Scotland. Situated around 5 miles north of Helmsdale, the village was newly settled in the 18th and 19th centuries by families evicted from their homes when the straths of Langwell, Ousdale and Berriedale were cleared for the establishment of sheep farms. Badbea is situated 3½ miles southwest of Newport.
