Peekie Bridge is a bridge spanning the Kenly Water some 50 metres east of Peekie Mill in Fife, Scotland. The crossing sits above bedrock of the Strathclyde Group, sedimentary rock sequences deposited during the Visean period of the Carboniferous era, which form a stable foundation for structures in this region of central Scotland.
The bridge serves a practical function within the landscape of Kenly Water's valley, allowing passage across the watercourse at a point where the Visean strata provide reliable bearing conditions. The proximity to Peekie Mill indicates the site's integration within a working agricultural landscape where such crossings have long facilitated access and movement of goods.
The monument is afforded statutory protection by Historic Environment Scotland as a scheduled ancient monument under reference SM880, reflecting its historical and structural significance within Fife's built heritage. This designation ensures the preservation of the bridge as an element of the region's communication networks and industrial history.
