The Disruption of 1843 led to the setting up of Invertiel Church, the foundation stone of which was laid in March 1857. Funds began to be raised for the manse in 1882 with donations from Lord Balfour Burleigh, J Forrester, N Spears and J M Hendry, among many others. By 1885 payments were being made to Inglis and McKee, Masons; John Murray, Architect, and in 1900 Barnet and Morton. When purchased by the current (1996) owner from the Church of Scotland, every door within the building had its original key.
