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.

Just had some information to say they did own the Troqueer Arms, Dumfries also, Margaret bought the the Chance Inn in Inverkeillor, after selling the Troqueer Arms.

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!

Yes, it must have been.
