Landmark visitor center in winter at Carrbridge Inverness-shire Scotland SCO 2076
Carrbridge (Scottish Gaelic: Drochaid Charra) is a village in Badenoch and Strathspey, Highland, Scotland. It is about 10 km north of Aviemore, and is part of the Cairngorms National Park. In the 2001 census the village had a population of 708 people with the majority employed in tourism. The village was an early centre for skiing in Scotland, and the A9 road passes close by, though before the 1980s bypass was constructed it ran straight through the village. Carrbridge itself is served by Carrbridge railway station on the Highland Main Line Carrbridge's most famous landmark is the old bridge, built in 1707, from which the village is named. This was severely damaged in the "muckle spate" of 1829 which left it in the condition we see today. Sadly it is now unstable and is recommended only to be viewed from afar. Jumping off the bridge into the River Dulnain below had long been a popular pastime for younger locals and the more adventurous tourists. The village plays host to the Golden Spurtle World Porridge Making Championship and the "Carve Carrbridge" Scottish Open Chainsaw Carving Competition SCO 2076
