Many years ago we lived in the Old Manse in Waternish, Skye. If you look on the maps, you'll spot that unlike nearly all the other houses on the road, the Manse has house *directly* opposite, blocking the view over Loch Bay and the Minch. See also street view.
The backstory to all of this is that the Minister at the time had fallen out with the Factor / Laird and when the health board were looking to build a 'nurses bungalow' the only land available in the entire area was that plot, directly in front of the Manse.
As with all the best tales, the twist was that when the factor became old and decrepit, the only person who'd take him in was ... the minister, so he spent his final days looking out at the non-view.
