| Caption: | Mrs Gordon, Pitcalzean, Nigg. Copy of Dunskaith House, Nigg. The original house is at the far left, but it was significantly enlarged between 1901 and 1906 after its purchase by the Romanes family. The Cromarty Firth was used as a naval base during World War One, and Dunskaith House briefly became a naval hospital, but because of poor water supply to the house it was turned into a naval supplies store. It stood near to the Nigg pier and was almost wholly destroyed by fire in 1960 with only the servants' quarters surviving. * |
