Nigg, Aberdeen
Nigg is an area of Aberdeen, Scotland, south of the River Dee. The area has a bay known as the ''Bay of Nigg'' or Nigg Bay, immediately south of a coastal golf course,〔(BBC Scotland )〕 and a farm that is also a visitor attraction, known as Doonies Farm.〔(Doonies Farm )〕
==History==
Nigg is situated somewhat to the east of the ancient Causey Mounth trackway, which route was constructed on high ground to make passable this medieval passage from coastal points south of Stonehaven to Aberdeen. This ancient passage connected the River Dee crossing (where the present Bridge of Dee is situated) via Muchalls Castle and Stonehaven to the south.〔(C. Michael Hogan, ''Causey Mounth'', Megalithic Portal, ed.A. Burnham, Nov 3, 2007 )〕 The route was that taken by William Keith, 7th Earl Marischal and the Marquess of Montrose when they led a Covenanter army of 9000 men in the battle of the Civil War in 1639.〔Archibald Watt, ''Highways and Byways around Kincardineshire'', Stonehaven Heritage Society (1985)〕
Until 1975 Nigg was administered by the county council of Kincardineshire. When county councils were abolished in that year, Nigg was added to the City of Aberdeen.
