Melness Guest House and the adjoining property, No. 6, were originally built in 1868 as a mission hall. It was designed to look like 2 houses from the front, with living quarters downstairs and the mission hall itself upstairs. It remained like that until 1900 when surplus to requirement the church sold the property.

The building then become Craigneish School For Young Ladies and remained as such until about 1923 when it was divided into 2 houses. No 6 has retained the name 'Craigneish' until this day. Melness still has the original ornate plaster ceiling and a Minster stone carved fireplace in the resident's lounge/dining room.
