Heritage listing
Bridge of Balgie is a hamlet in Glen Lyon (Perth & Kinross, Scotland) and lies at the junction between the east–west single track road along the foot of the glen from Fortingall to Loch Lyon and the unclassified mountain road running over the western shoulder of Ben Lawers to the A827 near Milton Morenish on the shores of Loch Tay. Although it only comprises a few dwellings, it is the principal settlement in the central section of Glen Lyon and contains a combined post office and tea room which is popular with walkers and other visitors. Opposite the hamlet, on the south shore of the river Lyon, is the Meggernie Outdoor Centre which is run by the Scout Association.
