St.Fittick's churchyard,
on St.Fittick's Road,
just outside Torry,
just outside Aberdeen.
This is a
disused churchyard between the edge of a Torry housing estate
and the sea at Nigg Bay
(see map).
This location is more properly said to be in Torry, or Nigg Bay,
than in Nigg itself, which is some distance to the South
(see map).
St.Fittick's church dates from the 12th century.
The Gibbon family graves
are in the
NE corner of the churchyard.
