history

Logie House dates back to a tower house from the 16th century. In 1610 it was expanded into a manor house. Logie House was acquired by a Hunt family in 1786. Since then, the property has been inherited within the family. The manor house received its current classical appearance mainly in a revision in 1807, in which the north-west wing was added. Around 1902 James Maitland Hunt sold Pittencrieff House to Andrew Carnegie , concentrating his activities on Logie House. Robert Lorimer was responsible for the expansion in 1912 . During the 1950s, Logie House was divided into three separate residential units.

The manor, dating from the late 18th century and partially rebuilt in 1933, is located along the main driveway around 300 m northwest of Logie House. Three one-story, elongated buildings enclose an inner courtyard on three sides. A two-story building stands opposite on the free side so that narrow driveways are created on both sides, shielded by a wall. There are the wagon sheds and a granary. Just like the upper part of the masonry of the U-shaped building, its masonry also consists of sandstone blocks . The lower area, however, is made of roughly hewn quarry stone . Mainly four-part lattice windows are embedded along the facade . The steep pitched and hip roofs are covered with gray slate. Part of the courtyard is paved.
