Bridge of Orchy (Drochaid Urchaidh in Gaelic) is a village in Argyll and Bute in Scotland. It is located at the head of Glen Orchy. Although sometimes described as a hamlet, Bridge of Orchy actually meets the definition of a village as it has a church. Access to the village is made easy by the village’s position on the A82 dual carriageway, as well as being served by a railway station. The eponymous bridge was constructed by Government forces as a part of a system of pacification of the Highland Clans which consisted of the building of military roads from the Lowlands into the substantially wilder upland parts of Scotland. It crosses the River Orchy, one of the fastest white water rivers in the United Kingdom. Dating back to 1751, the village contains a unique tourist hotel. Orchy is in addition located on the West Highland Way long distance path, which is a long distance footpath in Scotland, which has the official status of Long Distance Route.
