Ettrickbridge is a village situated in the Scottish Borders region of Scotland, from the nearby town of Selkirk. It sits on the B7009 road, which follows the Ettrick Water south-west from Selkirk, along the Ettrick Valley as far as Tushielaw (OS grid reference NT305184). There have been settlements in the area for over a century, but in recent years the population has increased steadily, with new houses being built every year. Known as 'Kirkhope' until the late 1700s, the erection of the bridge spanning the gap between cliffs either side of the river at the entrance to the village brought about the name 'Ettrickbridge'.〔(''Ettrickbridge'', Undiscovered Scotland )〕 The village is home to Kirkhope Primary School, from where pupils advance to Selkirk High School. Other amenities include Kirkhope Church, a pub (The Cross Keys Inn), a village hall (Kirkhope Hall), football field, tennis court and small children's playground. Until 2006 there was a small Post Office, now closed. ==Notes and references== 〔 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「Ettrickbridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
