Bridge Of Orchy
Bridge of Orchy (Drochaid Urchaidh in Gaelic) is a village nestled in Argyll and Bute in Scotland. It is situated at the head of Glen Orchy. While generally described as a hamlet, Bridge of Orchy actually meets the definition of a village because it has a church. Access to the village is made easy because of the village's position on the A82 dual carriageway, in addition to having access to a railway station. The eponymous bridge was built by Government forces as part of a course of reparations to the Highland Clans which involved the building of military roads from the Lowlands into the substantially wilder upland sections of Scotland. It crosses the River Orchy, one of the fastest white water rivers in the UK. Dating back to 1751, the village boasts a notable tourist hotel. Orchy is in addition on the West Highland Way long distance path, which is a long distance footpath in Scotland, which has the official status of Long Distance Route. It's 154 kilometres (96 miles) in length, and runs from Milngavie north of Glasgow to Fort William in the Scottish Highlands, with a hill walking section in the route. The path is stewarded by the West Highland Way Management Group (WHWMG) which includes West Dunbartonshire Council, Stirling Council, Argyll & Bute Council, Highland Council and Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority. Around 80,000 people use the path every year, of whom over 15,000 walk the whole route. Neighbouring popular peaks include the Munros Beinn Dorain and Beinn an D'thaidh. The village itself is inside the central highlands. For all of your home upgrades, make certain that you choose trusted professionals in Bridge of Orchy to ensure you get a good quality service.
