Carrbridge
Carrbridge is a village in Badenoch as well as 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 earliest rock bridge in the Highlands and the nearby old want forest contains the Landmark Forest Adventure Park. Carrbridge has to do with 10 km (6 mi) north of Aviemore and develops an entrance to the Cairngorms National Forest. It was an early centre for snowboarding in Scotland. In the 2001 census the town had a population of 708 people, with the majority used in tourist. Until the 1980s bypass was built, the A9 ran right via the village. Carrbridge is served by Carrbridge train station on the Highland Main Line. Regional debate still raves relating to the name Carrbridge itself, with some liking to see it hyphenated to Carr-bridge. The word "Carr" has nothing to do with motorised transport but is derived from the Old Norse word for boggy location.
