Situated in the heart
of beautiful Strathspey in the Highlands of Scotland between Aviemore and Grantown,
Nethy Bridge is the perfect centre to enjoy the countryside of the glorious Scottish
Highlands . Nethy Bridge boasts a full range of accommodation from hotels to bed and breakfast, self catering establishments or hostels, and has easy access to a vast range of activities throughout the area. The village of Nethy Bridge - often affectionately referred to simply as "Nethy" has been a holiday destination since Victorian times, yet it remains unspoilt with the majority of accommodation hidden away in quiet locations next to the ancient Caledonian pine forest. |

Built in 1810, the bridge is a classic
Telford design with three arches, and is in the heart of the village. It had to be repaired after
the August 1829 Moray (N.E. Scotland) Flood when part of it was washed away. In all, Nethy can boast 4 Telford bridges in the village. | ||
