Keith Old Bridge

Built in 1609, it is the oldest surviving dated bridge in Moray and is a Category A listed building.

Keith Old Bridge is built of granite rubble, and spans the River Isla in a single segmental arch,[1] linking the higher northern bank to the lower southern one,[2] where it is widely splayed.

[3] On its eastern flank it bears a worn carving of the coats of arms of Thomas Moray and Janet Lindsay,[3] and on the west there are date stones showing 1609, the year the bridge was built, and 1822, when repair work was carried out on it.

[2] It was built in 1609, making it the oldest surviving dated bridge in Moray.

[2] Its role in carrying the main road across the River Isla ended in 1770 when the nearby Union Bridge was built,[1] but it remained open for pedestrians, and stone steps were added at the southern end, probably in the twentieth century.
