From the Wikipedia article
St Colmac Manse (also known as Cnoc an Raer) is a historic building in St Colmac on the Isle of Bute, Scotland. Dating to around 1835, it was the clergy house for the now-ruined and Category C listed St Colmac's Church, located about 600 feet (180 m) to the east, built around the same time. Both properties are believed to have been built by John Paterson, a "very able builder and skilled mason" of Largs. The manse sits back about 250 feet (76 m) from the northern side of the B875 road, and several feet above it, at the end of a long driveway. It is two storeys, with a rear extension added in the 20th century. Also at the rear there are two stone outbuildings under slate roofs. The property sits on 1.79 acres (0.72 ha).
