Nigg Old Church

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.

Nigg Pier

These were taken beside Nigg Old Pier where the Cromarty to Nigg Car ferry lands – that is when it is running!

The first two photographs are taken towards the fortifications on the South Sutor – we’ve never managed to get there.

The last photograph is taken towards Cromarty itself.
