Bridge Of Orchy

Towns & Villages

This village lies on the A82, the main thoroughfare which crosses the western side of the central Highlands. A cluster of small, white-washed buildings centred around the 4-star Bridge of Orchy Hotel, it’s a perfectly situated stop for visitors on their way to visit famous Highland destinations such as Glen Coe and Rannoch Moor.

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.

Hikers are also drawn to the summits of Beinn Dorain and Beinn an Dothaidh. These two Munros, at 3,524ft and 3,267ft respectively, loom over the village to the east. Access is via a path leading to the bealach between both peaks from an underpass beneath the railway. Walkers are encouraged to use the new car park next to the hotel rather than the station car park.
