Originally called Abernethy (Scottish Gaelic: Obar Neithich), Nethy Bridge was renamed when the railways came this far north in the 1860s. The Great North of Scotland Railway already had actually a village called Abernethy on its line even more southern, so renamed this set Nethy Bridge to differentiate both. The placename Abernethy is still often 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 just one of the first neighborhoods in the area to establish a vacationer association site.
