Bridge Of Orchy
Bridge of Orchy (Drochaid Urchaidh in Gaelic) is a village nestled in Argyll and Bute in Scotland. It sits at the head of Glen Orchy. While generally described as a hamlet, Bridge of Orchy meets the definition of a village as it features a church. Access to the village is made possible by the village's location on the A82 dual carriageway, and also being served by a railway station. The eponymous bridge in the town was built by Government forces as a part of a programme of reparations to the Highland Clans which included the construction of military roads from the Lowlands in to the much wilder upland parts of Scotland. It crosses the River Orchy, one of the fastest white water rivers in the UK. Dating back to 1751, the village boasts a unique tourist hotel. Orchy is also located 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's 154 km (96 miles) long, running from Milngavie north of Glasgow to Fort William in the Scottish Highlands, with a hill walking section in the route. The path comes under the stewardship by the West Highland Way Management Group (WHWMG) comprising West Dunbartonshire Council, Stirling Council, Argyll & Bute Council, Highland Council and Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority. About 80,000 people make use of the path every year, of whom over 15,000 walk the whole route. Close by prominent peaks are the Munros Beinn Dorain and Beinn an D'thaidh. The village itself is inside the central highlands. For all of your property upgrades, be sure that you employ trusted experts in Bridge of Orchy to ensure that you get the top quality service.
