Carrbridge
Carrbridge is a town in Badenoch and Strathspey in the Scottish Highlands. It exists off the A9 on the A938, west of Skye of Curr, southeast of Tomatin, near Bogroy. It has the oldest stone bridge in the Highlands and also the neighboring old pine forest consists of the Landmark Forest Adventure Park. Carrbridge is about 10 kilometres (6 mi) north of Aviemore as well as creates an entrance to the Cairngorms National Park. It was an early centre for snowboarding in Scotland. In the 2001 census the town had a population of 708 individuals, with the bulk employed in tourism. Until the 1980s bypass was constructed, the A9 ran directly with the village. Carrbridge is served by Carrbridge railway station on the Highland Main Line. Local discussion still raves regarding the name Carrbridge itself, with some choosing to see it hyphenated to Carr-bridge. The word "Carr" has nothing to do with motorised transport however is derived from the Old Norse word for boggy location.
