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. Although generally described as a hamlet, Bridge of Orchy actually meets the definition of a village as it features a church. Access to the village is made easy due to the village’s position on the A82 dual carriageway, as well as having access to a railway station. The bridge was built by Government forces as part of a course of pacification of the Highland Clans which included the building of military roads from the Lowlands into the considerably wilder upland sections of Scotland. It crosses the River Orchy, one of the finest white water rivers in the UK. Dating back to 1751, the village contains a notable tourist hotel. Orchy is also positioned 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 km (96 mi) in length, running from Milngavie north of Glasgow to Fort William in the Scottish Highlands, with a section of hill walking within the route. The path comes under the stewardship by the West Highland Way Management Group (WHWMG) consisting of West Dunbartonshire Council, Stirling Council, Argyll & Bute Council, Highland Council and Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority. Approximately 80,000 people use the path every year, of which over 15,000 walk the entire route. Close by prominent peaks are the Munros Beinn Dorain and Beinn an D’thaidh. The village itself is in the central highlands. For all your home upgrades, make sure that you choose reliable specialists in Bridge of Orchy to ensure that you get a top quality service.
