Dance Information

Nethy Bridge is a small village in Strathspey in the Highland Council Area of Scotland.

Often affectionately referred to simply as "Nethy" the village has, since Victorian times been a popular tourist destination for its quiet and secluded location at the edge of the Abernethy Forest.

Situated near the bridge over the River Nethy, in the heart of Strathspey in the Highlands of Scotland between Aviemore and Grantown, Nethy Bridge is the perfect centre to tour the Scottish Highlands.
