CHURCH OF ST. FIACRE OR FITTACK, Nigg, Kincardineshire.
A ruined church standing in the centre of an ancient churchyard, situated about three miles south-east from Aberdeen. The church is probably one of those built during the short period of Episcopal government in the seventeenth century. It consists (Fig. [1576]) of a single chamber, but there are indications of an arch across from side to side, where shown by dotted lines on the Plan, which may have marked a chancel. The building is 48 feet 6 inches in length by 20 feet 6 inches in width internally, and has been roofless for more than half a century.

The lintelled door is on the south side, and there are two other doors on the north side, one of them being in the supposed chancel.
The belfry (Fig. [1577]) appears to have been rebuilt in 1703. A row of projecting corbels, which probably supported a previous belfry, are left projecting under the new one.
