Scope and Content The ferry crossing between Nigg and Cromarty is historically important and part of the pilgrimage route to Tain. A passenger ferry still operates in the summer months. 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 military remains at Nigg Ferry. The site of Dunskeath House is just above the pier. This house was used as a naval hospital during WW1, but was destroyed by fire in 1960. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
