Statement of Interest

Although the manse was altered and extended in 1868, it retains much originalinterior work, particularly the two servants' rooms with box bed. The building referred to here as the Old Manse may have formed all or part of such a house, the marriage stone probably relating to Patrick Johnstone, minister 1702-40, and his wife; this building is a major factor for the B listing of the entire former manse property. The Steading is probably that refered to as 'offices' in the OSA.
