Old travel Blog photograph of the Bridge of Keig over the River Don near Alford, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The Bridge of Keig was built in 1817 by Thomas Telford. Brilliantly spare treatment: the River Don is crossed by a single segmental arch of a span of 101 feet in sharply squared granite. Above, the road is carried on a slight hump. Alford village gave its name to a battle of the Battle of Alford in 1645. It is also the home of the world popular Aberdeen Angus cattle breed. It is thought that the original breeding ground of the cattle was Buffal, located between Tough, Tulloch, and Craigievar nearby Alford.
