Ettrickbridge is a village situated in the Ettrick Valley in the Scottish Borders. It is close to the town of Selkirk which is about 7 miles away. It is next to the River Ettrick and its name comes from the large bridge in the town spanning the large gap between the 2 cliffs at opposite sides of the river. There have been settlements in the village for over a century, but in recent years it has expanded rapidly with new houses being built every year.

It has a local pub called the Cross Keys Inn, a Village Hall, a Primary School and a Post Office. However in October 2006 there was controversy as the Post Office was threatened with being shut down, it is the last Post Office remaining in the Ettrick Valley.
