Photographs of Places

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 under the headings formerly listed.  The full set of photographs can be viewed in the Nigg Library page of this website, but we have also included the photographs that relate to places on this page.
