Nethy Bridge Team & Facilities
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be supported by a team whose warmth and experience set Abernethy apart. With decades of running school residentials, our staff know how to help every child feel safe, supported and at home – creating an environment where they can relax, try new things and grow in confidence. It’s this warmth, combined with our experience, that makes Nethy Bridge feel like a true home from home.
Our site offers a fantastic range of activities to spark adventure and curiosity, from a 160m zip wire and canoe pond to a dry ski slope and climbing wall. During quieter moments, pupils can unwind in our sports hall or games room, and there’s even a small tuck shop for treats.
All of this is set within the beautiful Cairngorms National Park, where wildlife is part of daily life. Deer, red squirrels, crested tits and ospreys are frequent visitors – and if you’re lucky, you might even spot a pine marten or the elusive capercaillie.
