Nethy Bridge
Nethy Bridge is a small town in Strathspey in the Highland council location of Scotland. The village exists within the historic parish of Abernethy as well as Kincardine, and the Cairngorms National Park. Frequently passionately referred to merely as "Nethy" the town has, since Victorian times been a tourist destination noted for its quiet and secluded area at the edge of the Abernethy Forest. It remains in the heart of Strathspey in the Highlands of Scotland, between Aviemore and Grantown, as well as is within the boundary of the Cairngorms National Park which was established in 2003. A primary industry of Nethy Bridge was forestry, with at once several sawmills in the location, however this has time out of mind gone away and also currently much of the income is stemmed from tourism. The name is originated from the River Nethy, a tributary of the close-by Spey, which runs through the village, as well as the curved bridge which was constructed in 1810, to a timeless Telford design, and also remains in the heart of the town. It had to be fixed after the Moray flooding of August 1829, when part of it was washed away. In total amount, there are four Telford bridges in Nethy. Originally called Abernethy (Scottish Gaelic: Obar Neithich), Nethy Bridge was relabelled when the railways came this much north in the 1860s. The Great North of Scotland Railway already had actually a village called Abernethy on its line further southern, so relabelled this one Nethy Bridge to separate the two. The placename Abernethy is still regularly made use of around right here: Abernethy Highland Games, Abernethy Forest, Abernethy Primary School etc. In 2011 the population of Nethy Bridge was 640. Nethy Bridge was among the very first areas in the area to develop a traveler association web site. A major part of the website is to record all buildings with their private history, as well as a number of town "elders" have been employed to research study as well as record the realities.
