Bridge of orchy

Bridge of Orchy has been a resting place for weary travellers as far back as the 18th century when it sat next to the earlier “Old Military Road” which intersects at the crossroads at the heart of the village. It was built to allow government troops access to the Highlands during the times of the Jacobite risings. The delightful stone bridge over the River Orchy also dates from this period. Before that, it would have seen drovers herding their castle south to the lowland markets. Today, the village welcomes a steady stream of hikers following the West Highland Way, as well as canoeists and white-water rafters passing by on the River Orchy.
