Background
Description
The present building is a large three-story house running north–south. On the east side is a stair turret with a small watch-chamber above. The roofs are steep with crow-stepped gables. One dormer bears the date 1678. The building is similar in style and date to the Mansion House in nearby Rothesay, and is likely to have been built by the same architect. The interior of the house dates from the 1990s restoration. The earlier interiors were mostly lost when the building was divided into flats, and further damage occurred when a fire broke out in June 1991 while the restoration was in progress.
