Cove, a fishing village in Nigg parish, Kincardineshire, with a station on the Caledonian railway, 4¾ miles S by E of Aberdeen, under which it has a post office. At it are St Mary's Episcopal church (1868), a public and an Episcopal school, an hotel, and a harbour, which, mainly natural, or very slightly improved by art, serves often as a place of refuge to boats in high north-easterly winds. The fishermen engage in various kinds of fishery, and have considerable reputation for the drying and smoking of haddocks. A cave enters from the beach in the vicinity, and probably gave name to the village. Pop. (1861) 385, (1871) 450, (1881) 550.
