Homestead, Logie.
This homestead, 460 yds. NE. of Broomhill Cottage, is situated at a height of 600 ft. O.D. on the SW. slope of an unnamed ridge which adjoins Dumyat on the W. Oval on plan (Fig. 25), it measures 50 ft. in length from WNW. to ESE. By 40 ft. transversely within a ruinous stone wall about 7 ft.in thickness. The entrance, S ft. in width, is in the S. arc. The interior slopes down from NW. to SE., and a shelf in the highest part provides a suitable site for a hut.
A spring rises 30 yds. W. of the homestead, and the whole of the hillside in the vicinity bears signs of cultivation in the form of short irregular terraces, which appear wherever the slope is not too steep and rocky. A track which passes close to the S. of the homestead runs from a point on the Sheriffmuir Road near the Highlandman's Well (NS89NW 2), 700 yds. to the NW., to a ruined farmstead 400 yds. to the SE (NS89NW 64).
