It lies on the B992 road between Insch and the village of Whitehouse. EducationThe village has a Primary School,[4] and it is within the catchment area for Alford Academy, the nearest Secondary School. ChurchKeig has a Church of Scotland church, which is a church included in the Howe Trinity Parish (which also includes Alford and Tullynessle and Forbes).[5] Keig Parish Church dates from 1834[6] and has a linked churchyard. The church was saved from being sold off as a private dwelling in the early 2000s (decade), thanks to a group, the Friends of Keig Kirk, which supports the church to this day.[7][8] Places of interestKeig is located near Castle Forbes, which is the ancestral home of the Clan Forbes family. The historic Category A listed Bridge of Keig designed by the renowned architect Thomas Telford over the River Don with stunning views towards Castle Forbes is also a notable local landmark. 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] Having undertaken major strengthening and repair work, Aberdeenshire Council reopened Keig Bridge on 18 September 2010.[11] River Don passing through north Keig (ROK) and South-East Keig.
