The Old Manse, Stuartfield

Aberdeenshire

Stop off at the Old Manse where a warm welcome awaits visitors who are interested to find out more about the history of the 217-year-old Manse. Visitors will be greeted within the Manse, which is now a private residence, by the owner and will be enthralled by his traditional storytelling. The tales will include images, illustrations and video covering the origin of the church and manse and the lives of some of the ministers, concentrating particularly on the first minister, James Robertson and his children, who later in life achieved tremendous success! You will also delve into the lives of the many occupants of The Old Manse, where odd coincidences exist between the first inhabitant and the existing one! The storytelling will take place in one of the rooms of the house, which can cater for a maximum of 6 people at a time.
