Auld Brig of Keith

The packhorse bridge over the Isla in Keith, now a pedestrians only bridge with stone steps up to the highest point, the bridge dates from 1609 and is the oldest surviving dated bridge in Moray. It was built at their own expense by Thomas Moray and his wife Janet Lindsay. They lived close to the river and were concerned about the dangerous state of the ford where several people, possibly including their own son, are said to have drowned whilst crossing the river.
