history

Garlogie developed with the textile industry in the course of the 19th century. Watermills for textile production were powered by a drain from the Loch of Skene to the north . A textile mill, in which an exceptionally well-preserved balancing machine is installed, served as the community hall of Garlogie in the 20th century . In the vicinity of Garlogie there is an important hub for the national gas supply.
In 1961 there were 88 inhabitants in Garlogie.
