One mile to the southwest are the ruins of Hallforest Castle, of which two storeys still exist, once a hunting-seat of Robert Bruce and afterwards a residence of the Keiths, earls marischal.
Kintore gives the title of earl in the Scottish, and of baron in the British peerage to the head of the Keith-Falconer family.

The old bridge had cast figures on the link girders representing the arms of the Earl of Kintore and this is echoed by the similar arms on the girders of the new bridge.
