Blairour, c.1800 and later Somewhat ungainly later 19th-century aggrandisement of a farmhouse (also sometime manse for Kilmonivaig Church from 1812 ), with outsized concrete bay windows and other additions for the family still associated with the house, whose ancestor, 'Long' John Macdonald of the Keppoch branch, founded the Ben Nevis Distillery in 1825. At the start of a tree-lined avenue, Spean Cottage, earlier 19th century, is a pretty example of a Highland estate cottage with rare surviving 12 -light lying pane sashes.
