William Minto, 1817 to guidelines by Thomas Telford. Single span, segmental arched, road bridge with 101 foot span. Slightly humped with slight widening at approaches. Squared granite with coped parapet.
The early 19th century Bridge of Keig makes a fine contribution to its landscape setting, set high above a curve in the river. Notable for its simple and graceful treatment, it is one of the longest single-span granite bridges in Scotland. The specification and construction was carried out by local mason William Minto following guidelines laid down by the pre-eminent Scottish engineer Thomas Telford earlier in the century. Minto was the surveyor and contractor for other Telford designed bridges in Aberdeenshire including those at Alford and Potarch (see separate listings). The bridge cost 2300 pounds, half of which was provided by the Government.
