(NJ 7058 2583) Logie (NR).

OS 6" map, (1959)

Known variously as Logie, Logie House and Logie-Ephinstone, the building has been so altered internally and externally as to leave few of the original features evident, although it shows a 17th century frontage on the east and south. The nucleus has been a tall house, dating probably from the early 17th century, of three storeys and a garret, oblong on plan, with a still taller stair tower rising at the NE angle. Later subsidiary buildings project eastwards to form three sides of a courtyard, and a single storey extension masks the basement of the main block to the E.

Logie House, now a hotel, is as described by Tranter.

Visited by OS (RL) 19 February 1969.

Remains of Logie House, originally built for James Elphinstone in the 17th century. Three-storey with circular angle tower; so altered internally that few of the original 17th century features are evident apart from the E and S frontage. Later subsidiary buildings projected eastwards to form three sides of a courtyard and a single-storey extension masked the basement of the main block to the E. The plasterwork was among the best of its date in Aberdeenshire, with a fine Rococco ceiling. Converted to a hotel and destroyed by fire in the 1970's.

Overgrown walled garden (NJ72NW 5.03) to NW.
