The Kincorth, Nigg, and Cove ward forms the southernmost part of Aberdeen, situated between the River Dee and the North Sea coast. The area is primarily residential, with housing ranging from post-war estates in Kincorth to more modern developments in Cove Bay. It contains significant green spaces like Kincorth Hill Nature Reserve and the coastal strip along Nigg Bay. The ward also includes the large Aberdeen South Harbour expansion, a major industrial port facility.
Local geography is defined by the coastline and the hill, offering walking paths with views over the city and the water. The area functions with its own local shops, schools, and community centres, serving its suburban population. Cove Bay retains a distinct identity with its historic harbour, while the landscape is marked by the prominent presence of the Girdle Ness lighthouse at its eastern point.
