Tour Scotland Video River Orchy Bridge Of Orchy Scottish Highlands

Tour Scotland video of the River Orchy on visit to Bridge Of Orchy, Argyll, Scotland. Located in the Scottish Highlands at the head of Glen Orchy, Bridge Of Orchy is on the A82 road, has a railway station and is on the West Highland Way long distance path. Nearby prominent peaks include the munros Beinn Dorain and Beinn an Dòthaidh. The bridge was constructed by Government forces as part of a programme of pacification of the Highland Clans which involved the construction of military roads from the Lowlands into the much wilder upland areas of Scotland. It crosses the River Orchy, one of the finest whitewater rivers in the United Kingdom.
