Old Photograph Bay Of Nigg Scotland

Old photograph of Bay Of Nigg, Aberdeen, Scotland. Nigg Bay is situated somewhat to the East of the ancient Causey Mounth route which 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. 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.
