Bridge Of Orchy
Bridge of Orchy (Drochaid Urchaidh in Gaelic) is a village nestled in Argyll and Bute in Scotland. It is positioned at the head of Glen Orchy. Although generally described as a hamlet, Bridge of Orchy meets the definition of a village because it features a church. Access to the village is made easy because of the village's position on the A82 dual carriageway, as well as being served by a railway station. The eponymous bridge was constructed 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 much wilder upland parts of Scotland. It crosses the River Orchy, one of the finest white water rivers in the United Kingdom. Dating back to 1751, the village contains a distinctive tourist hotel. Orchy is in addition on the West Highland Way long distance path, which is a long distance footpath in Scotland, with the official status of Long Distance Route. It's 154 kilometres (96 mi) long, running from Milngavie north of Glasgow to Fort William in the Scottish Highlands, with an element of hill walking in the route. The path is stewarded by the West Highland Way Management Group (WHWMG) made up of West Dunbartonshire Council, Stirling Council, Argyll & Bute Council, Highland Council and Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority. Around 80,000 people walk the path annually, of whom over 15,000 walk the complete route. Close by famous peaks are the Munros Beinn Dorain and Beinn an D'thaidh. The village itself is in the central highlands. For all of your home upgrades, ensure that you use vetted specialists in Bridge of Orchy to ensure you get the very best quality service.
