Logie House is described by the SDD (undated) as a traditional two-storey house, harled, with crow-stepped gables. It dates to about 1750 with later additions in similar style. The ONB, however, states that the older part of Logie House is dated 1715, but is much older, according to family papers. It is three storeys in height the walls are 3' thick and the main entrance has gun-holes. When making inprovements a former proprietor removed an old tower which stood E of the present building, so that the house appears to have been a castellated dwelling-house. A charter of 1617 mentions the lands of "Logy with fortalice and manor".

There is also a rectangular lean-to dovecot, of rubble, with crow-stepped flanks, renovated in the 18th century, SW of the house (at NO 4078 2057).

Logie House - an early 18th century house with later additions but incorporating the remains of an earlier building (probably a late 16th century L-shaped tower-house ), the external evidence of which can be seen in a re-entrant angle at the rear of the house, consisting of thick walling and a number of blocked gun loops.

The 17th-18th century dovecot is of the usual rectangular, lean-to-type, now ruinous (see NO42SW 39).
