In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Ousdale like this:
Ausdale, a hamlet and a burn in Latheron parish, Caithness. The hamlet lies on the burn, at the N base of the Hill of Ord, 4 miles SW of Berriedale. The burn runs south-eastward, at a course of only about 3 miles, and leaps over a cliff of about 100 feet in depth into the sea.
Ousdale is now part of HIGHLAND Council. Click here for graphs and data of how HIGHLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Ousdale itself, go to Statistics.
