The house looks south over a beautifully wooded garden that leads down to the lochside. The rubble-built house, originally with three bays, was extended by an extra east bay in 1821. The extensive grounds have a celebrated 'second' garden to the west, laid out on derelict ground in the 1960s by Dr Andrew Neil and his wife, Nancy, The manse was the home of the Reverend John Thomson, distinguished landscape painter and minister of Duddingston Church from 1805-40. He had an octagonal studio and curling house, designed by William Playfair in 1823, built on the lochside. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
