Nigg, Aberdeen — Area Guide & Where to Stay

What are the main landmarks in Nigg?

Sport and worship split the list. Balmoral Stadium and Spain Park take the first half, while Nigg Parish Church and the South St Nicholas Church of Scotland at Kincorth Circle take the second, and Doonies Farm stands outside both as a farm that also works as a visitor attraction. Slessor Drive and Slessor Road appear on the same record.

Above Nigg Bay the coastal golf course runs along the shore, and the River Dee lies to the north of the whole area.

What is the history of Nigg?

Nigg names its own water. The bay offshore carries the name twice over, as the Bay of Nigg and as Nigg Bay, and the same word attaches to Nigg Parish Church, so the parish and the coast are recorded under one heading. The area sits inside Aberdeen, Scotland, on the south side of the River Dee, and Kincorth Circle with its South St Nicholas Church of Scotland belongs to the same stretch.

Doonies Farm works as a farm and as a visitor attraction, while Balmoral Stadium and Spain Park hold ground on the same side of the water.

Where is Nigg?

Nigg holds the ground south of the River Dee, where Nigg Bay opens below a coastal golf course and Doonies Farm works the land close by.
