Scope and Content Lochend House, Lochend Park, Restalrig, Edinburgh Lochend House, an ancient tower-house built for the Logans of Restalrig, was largely destroyed at the end of the 16th century. Only a picturesque fragment, and an early 19th-century addition built alongside a remnant of the older building, now survives. This, the best view of the house from across the waters of Lochend Loch, shows the remnant of the 16th-century house, built high on a precipitous rock face above the loch, with two windows in the rubble walls, above which rises a massive chimney-stack. The Logans of Restalrig were the old superiors of Leith, and the last baron, Sir Robert, played a notorious part in the Gowrie Conspiracy, an unsuccessful plot in 1600 to assassinate King James VI. The ringleaders were killed in Gowrie House at Perth. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
