Ettrickbridge (Scottish Gaelic: Drochaid Eadaraig) is a village situated in the Scottish Borders region of Scotland, 7 miles (11 km) from the nearby town of Selkirk.
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'.
[1] Kirkhope Tower is a Scottish Pele located a mile north west of the village, near the site of the old chapel or kirk of Kirkhope.
Other amenities include a pub (The Cross Keys Inn), a village hall (Kirkhope Hall), football field, tennis court and small children's playground.
