Keith (Scottish Gaelic: Baile Chèith, or Cèith Mhaol Rubha (archaic)) is a small town in the Moray council area in north east Scotland.

It developed around the old bridge which was built there by two mourning parents as a permanent memorial to their dear child who drowned in the river at that crossing point in the hope that none should suffer similar loss.

[citation needed] The main part of the town is on higher ground above the river, laid out around 1750 by the Earl of Findlater.

The annual Keith Country Show, held at Seafield Park, is an event in the farming calendar of north-east Scotland.

[4] The Chronicles of Keith,[5] compiled in the 19th century, provide an unusually comprehensive view of the area's history.

[6] This victory at Keith is a reminder that the Jacobites were continuing to take the initiative in parts of northern Scotland until the Battle of Culloden on 16 April 1746.

The Keith Heritage Group have published a number of maps that lead visitors on walking tours through the town and surrounding countryside.

The nearby Blackhillock electrical substation is the landing point for a 1200 MW high-voltage direct current Caithness - Moray Link.

[18] Keith has an 18-hole golf course, three tennis courts, a bowling club, skate park and a large sports hall.
