Description
This is an 1846 Free Church manse located in Kiltarty, facing north. It is a symmetrical, two-storey, three-bay house with a single-storey, narrow, three-bay rear wing. The exterior is modern harled, with dressings and margins in tooled red ashlar. The front elevation features a central door flanked by windows. A pair of windows are set into the west return gable, and another pair are located on the west elevation of the rear wing. First-floor windows are smaller and have lying-pane glazing. Coped end stacks rise from the roof, which is covered in slate and has projecting eaves. The rear wing is said to have originally been a simple cottage used as a manse immediately following the Disruption of 1843. Details regarding the manse's history are found in W. Ewing's Annals of the Free Church.
