The former manse in Low Street New Aberdour, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
It was in this manse on the 6th of March, 1847 that my 3rd great grandparents, Robert Forsyth and Helen Thomson married.

| I have only just found out that the current sign "The Old Manse" near the door was made by Patrick Forsyth of Fraserburgh who is the grandson of Robert Forsyth Senior and nephew of Robert Forsyth Junior. |
Wow. Great story. My uncle and his wife were married in the Manse at the Kirk O Shotts. When I started digging into our family tree, we learned that his father and his first wife had also been married at Manse at the Kirk O Shotts.
