Nethy Bridge
Nethy Bridge is a little town in Strathspey in the Highland council area of Scotland. The town lies within the historical parish of Abernethy as well as Kincardine, and the Cairngorms National Park. Typically affectionately referred to simply as "Nethy" the town has, since Victorian times been a vacationer location noted for its peaceful and secluded place beside the Abernethy Forest. It is in the heart of Strathspey in the Highlands of Scotland, in between Aviemore and Grantown, as well as is within the limit of the Cairngorms National Park which was established in 2003. A primary sector of Nethy Bridge was forestry, with at one time a number of sawmills in the location, but this has actually long since gone away and now much of the income is derived from tourism. The name is stemmed from the River Nethy, a tributary of the close-by Spey, which goes through the town, and the arched bridge which was constructed in 1810, to a traditional Telford design, as well as remains in the heart of the village. It needed to be repaired after the Moray flooding of August 1829, when part of it was removed. In total, there are four Telford bridges in Nethy. Initially called Abernethy (Scottish Gaelic: Obar Neithich), Nethy Bridge was renamed when the trains came this far north in the 1860s. The Great North of Scotland Railway already had a village called Abernethy on its line better south, so relabelled this Nethy Bridge to distinguish the two. The placename Abernethy is still frequently utilized around here: Abernethy Highland Games, Abernethy Forest, Abernethy Primary School and so on. In 2011 the population of Nethy Bridge was 640. Nethy Bridge was just one of the initial neighborhoods in the location to establish a visitor organization web site. A major part of the web site is to record all properties with their specific background, as well as a number of town "elders" have been gotten to research and record the truths.
