The date of the original Nigg Old Church is not known, but the earliest written reference dtaes to 1296. It has been modified over the centuries and substantially rebuilt in 1626. It is looked after by Nigg Old Trust.
The first two photographs are of the Nigg Cross Slab, a Pictish carving of the late eighth or early ninth century.
The third and fourth are of the outside of the church, the fourth from the Bishop’s Walk.
Katya says:
Amazing! The cross has been very well preserved for its age. That last photo is so inviting…I would love to meander down such a pathway!
