Bridge Of Orchy

Bridge of Orchy (Drochaid Urchaidh in Gaelic) is a village within Argyll and Bute in Scotland. It can be found at the head of Glen Orchy. While often described as a hamlet, Bridge of Orchy actually meets the definition of a village as it features a church. Access to the village is made possible because of the village's location on the A82 dual carriageway, as well as being served by a railway station. The bridge in the town was constructed by Government forces as part of a course of pacification of the Highland Clans which included the construction of military roads from the Lowlands into the substantially wilder upland areas of Scotland. It crosses the River Orchy, one of the fastest white water rivers in the UK. Dating back to 1751, the village features a notable tourist hotel. Orchy is also positioned on the West Highland Way long distance path, which is a linear long distance footpath in Scotland, with the official status of Long Distance Route. It is 154 kilometres (96 miles) in length, and runs from Milngavie north of Glasgow to Fort William in the Scottish Highlands, with an element of hill walking in the route. The path is looked after by the West Highland Way Management Group (WHWMG) consisting of West Dunbartonshire Council, Stirling Council, Argyll & Bute Council, Highland Council and Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority. Approximately 80,000 people make use of the path each year, of whom over 15,000 walk the complete route. Close by prominent peaks are the Munros Beinn Dorain and Beinn an D'thaidh. The village itself is within the central highlands. For all your property improvements, be certain that you employ vetted pros in Bridge of Orchy to make sure you get the best quality service.
