The Logan Burn is a creek in the Scottish Council Area Midlothian .
Run
The Logan Burn rises in the center of the Pentland Hills on the slopes of Hare Hill and West Kip . The creek flows in a northeast direction, past East Kip , Scald Law and Black Hill . After about three kilometers, the Logan Burn is dammed up to the Loganlea Reservoir . The reservoir is used to supply Edinburgh with water . Leaving the Loganlea Reservoir on the northeast side, the Logan Burn flows another kilometer into the older Glencorse Reservoir , in which it rises. The main outflow of the reservoir is the Glencorse Burn , which eventually drains into the Firth of Forth via North Esk and Esk . Its total length is five kilometers.
Surroundings
On the northwest bank of Loganlea Reservoir are the remains of the Howlet's House fortified tower , believed to have been built in the 15th or 16th centuries. There were once two tower houses between Loganlea and Glencorse Reservoir , which were probably built around 1230 and in the 15th century respectively. The buildings, which were already in ruins by the 19th century at the latest, have meanwhile been largely removed.
