In 1810 the ancient little Church of St Fittick at Nigg served the Torry area on the south side of the River Dee. It continued to do so until 1829 when a new church was opened to cater for Torry's increasing population.
The original St Fittick's was owned by three different denominations during its long history: for over 300 years until the Reformation it was a Catholic church; for many years thereafter it was Episcopalian until the early 18th century when it became Presbyterian.
