Keig Parish Church dates from 1834[6] churchyard .

The historic Category A listed Bridge of Keig, designed by the architect Thomas Telford , spans the River Don and has views towards Castle Forbes . It is a notable local landmark.[citation needed In February 2010 the bridge was closed to traffic by Aberdeenshire Council amid fears of structural damage caused by the harsh winter conditions experienced at the end of 2009 and the early part of 2010.[9] [10] Aberdeenshire Council reopened Keig Bridge on 18 September 2010.[11]
The River Don passes through north Keig (ROK) and South-East Keig.
