That is definitely the Chance Inn in Inverkeilor. I always remember it as whitewashed - must have passed it hundreds of times on the way to and from our family cottage a few miles away. And of course I've been in for a drink or a pub meal. I think it was only stripped back to the (beautiful) Old Red Sandstone relatively recently.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Thank you for your help. Very much appreciated.I have to agree with you, the sandstone is nicer.

I think the photo in my link is quite old, going by the clothing of the people, so it must have been painted  and then stripped back again!
