Previously listed as "Former Manse of Glenluce Parish adjacent to Abbey". Abbey House is situated to the north-west of Glenluce Abbey. The Monastery of Glenluce Abbey was secularised in 1602, and the property was acquired for a manse and glebe in 1641. According to the NEW STATISTICAL ACCOUNT in 1839, the manse "was built about sixty-five years ago, and was thoroughly repaired in 1830". The manse was sold in 1963. The bay window was added in circa 1972. Ladyburn Manse, Glenluce (see separate listing), the former Free Church Manse, is now the manse of the parish.
