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 into related groups. All of the photographs can be viewed in the Nigg Libraries page of this website. However, we have included the work related photographs on this page.
