Balcraggie 1831-2. Glenelg's former manse, as so often in these parts sited some distance from its church. Like its sister manse for Glenshiel it is pedimented (here with an oculus), with paired ridge stacks rising from internal walls and 15-pane sash windows. But it is perhaps better proportioned, and has lower transverse wings in the manner of Knock farmhouse on Skye.
