This manse was superseded in 1758 by the new manse at 8 Church Road (listed as Former Manse), following the death of Thomas Donaldson (minister of Liff 1726-58) when James Playfair (minister of Benvie 1743-53) became the first minister of Liff and Benvie parish (united 1753). This building is listed for rarity value despite its ruinous condition.
