Scope and Content The oil rig construction yard opened in Nigg Bay in 1972. By 2010 as a result of the downturn in the market, the yard was mothballed but in 2011 it gained a new lease of life as a hub for the energy industry. There are remains of a saltworks in the basin at centre and military remains at Nigg Ferry. The site of Dunskeath House is at bottom left.
