Nigg (from the Scottish Gaelic: An Neag meaning "the notch", referring to a feature of the hills above the parish church) is a village and parish in Easter Ross, administered by the Highland Council. It lies on the north shore of the entrance to the Cromarty Firth.
The Cromarty Firth has been used as a deep water harbour, with a marine fabrication yard at Nigg used initially for North Sea oil and gas, but now being used for renewable energy projects.
