INTRODUCTION
The
Hill
of
Nigg
is
an
elongated
and
iconic
backdrop
to
a
gentle
low-lying
agricultural
landscape,
virtually
unchanged
for
thousands
of
years.
The
southern
slopes
join
the
North
Sutor,
one
of
the
North
East
of
Scotland's
best-known
landmarks
and
the
gateway
to
the
Cromarty
Firth.
Nigg Oil Terminal and Global's Nigg Energy Park are situated at sea level at the south- west end of Nigg across the water from Cromarty.
Shandwick
on
the
North
East
side
of
the
Parish
is
one
of
the
old
fishing
communities
with
views
across
the
Moray
Firth
and
the
cliffs
of
the
Hill
of Nigg.
Two
Pictish
cross-slabs
are
on
public
display
at
Nigg
Old
Church
and
on
the
road
above
Shandwick.
The
two
cross-slabs
were
commissioned
in
the second half of the 8th century by the secular and ecclesiastical authorities.
