Nigg Parish Photographs of Folk

Welcome to this collection of photographs from Nigg Parish. The originals are held by Mrs Liz Whiteford. The photographs were presented in three albums on the original RCHS website, but as the topics are similar in each album it has been decided to amalgamate them as Photographs under the Library page.

We have however, also incorporated the photograph albums that relate to Folk on this page.
