The Church of Scotland sold the property in 1958 to a private owner who remained there for 45 years. It was sold again in 2003.Loch Kaitre formerly occupied the site beside the manse. It was still present in 1838, but in the mid-19th century, a sinkhole appeared and the manse fell in, witnessed by the minister, who had just left his home en route to the church.
