The River Nethy is a right bank tributary of the River Spey in northeast Scotland. It rises as the Garbh Allt between Cairn Gorm and A' Chòinneach on the northern slopes of the Cairngorms and flows northwards through Strath Nethy and into Abernethy Forest. Passing through Nethy Bridge where the B970 road crosses the river and gives its name to the village, the Nethy turns northwestward before entering the Spey at Broomhill. Numerous burns feed the Nethy, the most significant of which is the Dorback Burn which enters from its right bank a mile above Nethy Bridge.
It was unroofed in 1739 and remained ruinous until the 20th century. In 1971 the building was added to the Scottish monument lists in the highest monument category A, before being restored by the architect Ian Begg in 1978–85. It is, since then, used as a holiday apartment.
