Recently came across a real estate listing for the place - fascinating! Here is a picture and link to the brochure for any history buffs. Wish I had 2,750,000 pounds to buy it!

Nice Georgian Home. Do you know where on the Island it is? I have a friend from Laxey just south of Ramsey.
I wish I had more pictures of the homes of any of my ancestors. Three years ago, I was fortunate to see the home built by my Great x 5 grandfather on the Island Of Eigg, Scotland in 1762, Kildonan House and he is interred in the old churchyard closeby.
Kildonan House, Eigg
