Cromdale ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Crombail)) is a village in Strathspey, in the Highland council area of Scotland, and one of the ancient parishes which formed the combined ecclesiastical (later civil) parish of "Cromdale, Inverallan and Advie" in Morayshire. The present small, growing village of Cromdale lies on either side of where the A95 road crosses Cromdale Burn, between Grantown-on-Spey and Aberlour; this bridge〔Ordnance Survey grid reference for the bridge: 〕 is about 500 metres south of the confluence of the burn with the River Spey. The village was within Inverness-shire until 1869, following which it became part of the Morayshire until 1975, when the county was divided between the Highland and Grampian regions; it is now within the Highland Council Area. The village retained ''Morayshire'' as its official postal address for many years after the change in local government boundaries. The parish church and cemetery are located beside the River Spey at the end of Kirk Road beside the bridge which is the latest of three which replaced the nearby ferry. The bridge was financed by local residents, having been obtained as a War Surplus item from the War Office and erected in 1922 at a cost of £ 6889.〔Strathspey Herald, 19 Jan 1922 and 9 Feb 1922〕 The remains of an older bridge can be seen a short distance upstream; this (much lighter) bridge was swept away in 1894, the 1922 bridge replaced one that collapsed in 1921.〔Strathspey Herald, 19 Jan 1922〕 About halfway along Kirk Road is Cromdale Station which closed in the 1960s but survives in private hands along with some preserved railway paraphernalia. It lies on the route of the now closed Great North of Scotland Railway line from Boat of Garten to Craigellachie. To the South of Cromdale is Balmenach Distillery which was served by a branch line running from Cromdale Station that passed under the main road alongside Cromdale Burn. This distillery has had a chequered history in recent years but is again in production. The old school had become the Cromdale Outdoor Education Centre and stands opposite the Haugh Hotel. The Battle of Cromdale took place in 1690 on the Haughs of Cromdale, about 2 miles East of the village. The village is within the Cairngorms National Park. == Football == Cromdale has a team which competes in the local Strathspey & Badenoch Welfare FA league: Cromdale FC. The club uses Cromdale's public football ground for all home matches. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cromdale」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
