Bridge Of Orchy
Bridge of Orchy (Drochaid Urchaidh in Gaelic) is a village within Argyll and Bute in Scotland. It is located at the head of Glen Orchy. While often known as a hamlet, Bridge of Orchy actually meets the definition of a village because it features a church. Access to the village is made possible by the village's location on the A82 dual carriageway, and also having access to a railway station. The eponymous bridge was constructed by Government forces as a part of a course of reparations to the Highland Clans which consisted of the construction of military roads from the Lowlands into the significantly 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 boasts a notable tourist hotel. Orchy is in addition located 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 is 154 kilometres (96 mi) in length, running from Milngavie north of Glasgow to Fort William in the Scottish Highlands, with a section of hill walking in the route. The path is stewarded by the West Highland Way Management Group (WHWMG) which includes West Dunbartonshire Council, Stirling Council, Argyll & Bute Council, Highland Council and Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority. Approximately 80,000 people walk the path each year, of whom over 15,000 walk the complete route. Nearby famous peaks are the Munros Beinn Dorain and Beinn an D'thaidh.
