labouring class not connected with agriculture. The
parish is traversed by the Stirling and Perth turn-
pike, the Stirling and Callander road, and by other
thoroughfares. Population, in 1801, 2,166; in 1831,
1,945. Houses 348. Assessed property, in 1815,
£14,481. — Logie is in the presbytery of Dunblane,
and synod of Perth and Stirling. Patron, the Earl
of Dunmore. Stipend £263 10s. 2d. ; glebe £19.
Unappropriated teinds £680 3s. 2d. The parish-
church was built in 1807 ; sittings 644. — A Relief
congregation in Rlair-Logie was formed in 1761 or
1762. Sittings in their chapel 400. The minister
has a house and garden. — The lands of Cambusken-
neih, with a population of 200, are annexed quoad
sacra to Stirling. The parish, exclusive of these



lands, was stated by the incumbent, in 18.?C, to have
a population of 1,827; of whom 1,086 were church
men, 706 were dissenters, and 35 were persons not
known to belong to any religious denomination. 'I'he
Clackmannanshire part of the parish includes the
sites of the ancient chapels and hermitages of Lupno,
north-west of JMenstrie, on the western bank of the
stream which flows into the Devon. The parish
school was attended, in 1834, by 73 children ; and
three private schools by 164. Parish schoolmaster's
salarv £30, with £33 fees.

LOGIE-ALMOND, a district on the north bank
of the river Almond, opposite the parish of Methven,
and immediately west of that of Monedie, Perthshire.
About 80 or 100 years ago, it was, by authority of
the court of teinds, disjoined from the parish of
Monzie, to which it originally belonged, and annexed
quoad sacra to that of Monedie. The district mea-
sures 3 miles by 2|. The soil adjacent to the river
is partly a light loam and partly gravelly; and, on
rising grounds and hills in the interior and on the
north, it is a deep till mixed with moss. The up-
lands are divided into sheep-walks, and abound with
all kinds of game. Near the Almond are some ruin-
ous castles ; and elsewhere are two Druidical circles.
The district anciently formed the meeting point of
the three dioceses of St. Andrews, Dunkeld, and
Dunblane; and is traditionally said to have been a
place of conference on the part of the three bishops.
— Logie- Almond, and small portions of the parishes
of Redgorton, Auchtergaven, Fowlis- Wester, and
Methven, were a few years ago erected into a chap-
lainry, or formally connected with a chapel, without
being made a quoad sacra parish. The united dis-
trict measures 6 miles by 2^; and, in 1838, had 1,114
inhabitants, — 681 of whom were in Logie-Almond,
93 in Redgorton, 95 in Auchtergaven, 162 in Fowlis-
Wester, and 83 in Methven; while 1 86 of the whole,
according to the Established minister's survey, were
churchmen, and 428 were dissenters. The chapel
was originally a place of worship in connexion with
the parish of Monzie, and was thoroughly repaired,
in 1834, at a cost of £150. Sittings 285. Stipend
from £50 to £60. In Logie-Almond a United Seces-
sion congregation was established about 1751. Their
present place of worship was built, in 1811, at an
expense of upwards of £400. Sittings 450. Sti-
pend £69, with a glebe worth £12, and a manse and
offices built, in 1801, at a cost of between £200 and
£300. The sole heritor of the united district is Sir
William Drummond Stewart of Grandtully.

LOGIE-BUCHAN, a parish in the district of
Buchan, Aberdeenshire ; bounded on the north by
Cruden ; on the east by Slains, which divides it from
the Sea; on the south by Foveran; and on the west
by Ellon. The river Ythan, here navigable at full tide
for small sloops, crosses it from west to east, dividing
it into nearly equal proportions. It extends, from
south-west to north-east, in a curved form, about 9
miles, by about 2 miles in mean breadth. Houses
123. Assessed property, in 1815, £2,367. Popu-
lation, in 1801, 539; in 1831, 684. The surface of
this parish is rather flat, with occasional eminences:
the soil, in general, is fertile ; but it is said to be
less so on the banks of the river than elsewhere, — a
circumstance rather unusual. The land is arable,
and in an excellent state of cultivation ; but presents
no object of particular interest. The well-known
song, ' Logie o' Buchan,' is sometimes, but erro-
neously, supposed to celebrate this parish. — Logie-
Buchau is in the presbytery of Ellon, and synod of
Aberdeen. Patron, Buchan of Auchmacoy. Sii-
pend £191 16s. 8d. ; glebe £12 10s. Unappropri-
ated teinds £11 Us. 9d. The church is situated

Two dame schools are occasionally kept.

LOGIE-COLDSTONE, a parish in the district
of Cromar, Aberdeenshire ; composed of the parishes
of Logie and Coldstone, united in 1G18. It is
bounded on the north by Strathdon and Towie ;
on the east by Tarland and Coul ; on the south by
Glenmuick; and on the west by Strathdon. The
length from east to west is about 6 miles : the breadth
may be stated at 31 ii.iles; but it is narrow in the
middle. Houses 204. Assessed property, in 1815,
£2,353. Population, in 1801, 861; in 1831, 910.
The surface is interspersed, in the interior, with a
number of small hills and large moors, abounding
with game : on the hill of Morven, ptarnugan and
white hares are found. A proportion of the soil is
arable and fertile ; but the district, in general, is
bleak and uninteresting, though considerable im-
provements have been effected. The parish is wa-
tered by three rivulets forming Daven-loch [which
see] and tributary to the Dee. There are several
large cairns and Uruidical circles. This parish is in
the presbytery of Kincardine-O'Neil, and synod of
Aberdeen. Patrons, the Crown and Farquharson
of Invercauld. Stipeml £217 9s. 3d.; glebe £16.
Unappropriated teinds £91 lis. 7d. — Schoolmaster's
salary £26 ; fees, &c. £24, besides a share of the
Dick bequest.

LOGIE-DURNO. See Chapel-of-Garioch.

LOGIE-EASTER, a parish in the counties of
Ross and Cromarty; bouiuled on the north by Tain;
on the north-east by Fearn ; on the east by Nigg ;
on the south by Kilmuir ; and on the west by Kil-
muir and Edderton. Its length is 7 miles ; and its
breadth about 3 miles. The surface is uneven, but
by no means rugged. The soil is, in some places, a
strong deep clay ; in others a rich black mould ; in
others a light earth on a sandy irretentive subsoil.
Sands have been extensively reclaimed, and are in a
very improved state of cultivation. Wheat is more
plentifully produced than any other grain, and is ex-
cellent in quality. The prevailing rock is the old
red sandstone. Thriving plantations are somewhat
extensive; and some natural wood flourishes on the
ground of Ulladale. The largest stream bisects the par-
ish eastward, and popularly bears the comprehensive
name of Abhor, or ' river.' Of three other rivulets
or burns, one, after heavy rains, overflows its banks,
and sometimes considerably damages the adjacent
fields, washing away the soil, and spoiling the grass.
The water of one of several very fine springs was once
superstitiously thought to have a predictive power;
and, when carried, in any quantity, into the presence
of a sick person, was alleged to change colour if he
would die, and to retain its limpidness if he would
recover. The climate seems to possess less than
average salubriousness. The mansions are Culrossie
and Shandwick, the seats respectively of Rose Ross,
and Charles C. Ross, Esq. The estate of Balna-
gown in the parish gives designation to its proprie-
tor Sir Charles Ross, Bart. Several cairns stand
on both sides of one of the burns, and are tradition-
ally said to indicate an ancient battle in which some
Scottish forces worsted an army of Danes. A gal-
lows hill in the centre of the parish, and a deep
small pond in its vicinity, called Pull a bhaidli, or
' the Pool for drowning,' were noted, in the days of
hereditary jurisdiction, as places of capital punish-
ment. " About 40 years ago," writes the Old Sta-
tistical reporter, " died a man who witnessed the
last execution in the pool, that of a woman for child
murder." An annual cattle-market is held in May
at Blackhill. The manse and church, situated near
the middle of the parish, are 2 miles north of Park-



hill post-office, and 5 south-south-west of the burgh
of Tain. The Great north mail-road runs along the
east, and a turnpike goes into the interior; but no
road lays open the district in the west. Depopula-
tion has occurred by the enlaiging of farms. Popu-
lation, in 1801, 1,031 ; in 1831, 934. Houses 226.

ing ground a charming view, southward, of the bay
and town, aiul environs of Cromarty, and eastward
of the parishes of Nigg, Fearn, and Tarbat, and the
coast of the German ocean. In 1834, the parish
school was attended by 106 scholars, and another
school by 58. Parish schoolmaster's salary £30,
with £6 f^'es.

LOGIE-PERT, a parish in the extreme north of
the maritime district of Forfarshire; bounded on the
north and north-east by the North Esk, which divides
it from Kincardineshire; on the south-east by Mon-
trose; on the south by Montrose and Dun; on the
south-west by Dun and Strickathrow; and on the
west by Strickathrovv'. Its outline is ellipsoidal, but
with a tapering toward the east; and its extent is
nearly 5 miles from east to west by 3 from north to
south. The surface rises from the North Esk, at
first gently, and afterwards more rapidly, so as to
attain a commanding though not strictly a hilly ele-
vation ; and, in a minor section, it slopes to the
south. The high ground commands a noble view of
the Grampians, of the intervening plain, and of a
considerable part of Kincardineshire. The soil, in
the northern division, is a deep clay which sponta-
neously yields rich crops of grass, and yields large
returns to cultivation ; and in the other districts, it
is partly a light loam, and partly blackish moorland,
superincumbent on clay. About 300 acres are waste;
ami all the rest of the area is disposed in arable
grounds and plantations, in the proportions to each
other of 34 to 1. Abundance of wood, wealth of
soil, and the achievements of husbandry, impress on
the parish a peculiarly siuig and cheerful aspect. Of
various springs of excellent water which refresh the
inhabitants, a copious one near the site of the old
manse of Pert is reputed to be antiscorbutic, and one
in Martin's den produces so plentifully that its stream
would fill a pipe of a foot in interior circumference.
The North Esk, while skirting the boundary, is beau-
tiful in its banks, and produces excellent trout and sal-
mon. Freestone, of good quality, abounds ; but is not
much worked. Limestone was formerly mined and
burnt to a great extent ; but eventually proved uncom-
pensating. On the North Esk are two seats of consid-
erable manufacture. The Logic works, a mile from
the eastern extremity, and 4^ miles from the town
of Montrose, consist of a flax-spinning mill, which
employs about 130 persons, and a bleachfield for
linen-yarns, which employs nearly 50. These works
belong to a company in Montrose. The Craigo
works, nearly a mile farther up the river, belong to
a company in London, and consist of a flax-spinning
mill, machinery for finishing cloth, a bleachfield, and
a soda. work, which jointly employ about 150 per-
sons. Though the population of the eastern section
of the parish is chiefly gathered round the vicinity
of the maruifactories, they are nowhere congregated
into a village. The chief mansions are Craigo, in
the south-east corner, and Gallary, on the North
Esk, the seats respectively of David Carnegie, Esq.,
and James Lyall, Esq., the two largest lai.downers.
Nearly a mile west of Craigo-house are three remark-
able tumuli, called the Laws of Logic, two of which

have been opened, and found to contain nmisiially
large human skeletons, and some kindred relics.
The parish is cut across its north-west nook by the
west road between Dundee and Aberdeen, and across
its east end by the road from JMontrose to Fetter-
cairn. The bridge which carries the former over
the North Esk is a solid structure of three arches,
said to have been built by the celebrated Erskine of
Bun ; and that which carries over the latter is an
elegant erection of four arches, built in 1814. Popu-
lation, in 1801, 908; in 1831, 1,359. Houses 233.

1775, by voluntary subscription among the parish-
ioners, at a cost, it is supposed, of about £300; and
has never been repaired. Sittings 502. The min-
ister stated the population, in 1836, to consist of
1,310 churchmen, 90 dissenters, and 4 nondescripts,
— in all, 1,404 persons. The present parish com-
prehends the ancient parishes of Logie-Montrose,
composing its eastern division, and of Pert, compos-
ing its western division. The parishes were united
by act of parliament between 1610 and 1615. The
ruins of the old church of Logic stand in a romantic
hollow or low grouiul on the North Esk, half-a-mile
from the eastern extremity ; and those of the old
church of Pert stand also on the river 4| miles fur-
ther west. The parish school was attended, in 1834,
by 33 scholars; and 5 private schools by 117. Par-
ochial schoolmaster's salary £34 4s. 4d., with about
£10 7s. 6d. fees, and £10 6s. other emoluments.
There are two savings banks and a library.

LOGIERAIT, a large and dispersed parish in the
northern division of Perthshire. Part of it is sur-
rounded on all sides, to a depth of many miles, by
the parish of Fortingall in Breadalbane. This part
has a length from north to south of 4^ miles, and a
mean breadth of 3| miles ; it lies on the south side
of Loch-Rannoch, from 1 ^ to 5 miles from the east
end of the lake ; it has a belt of plantation a mile
broad from the lake southward; and it thence tower-
ingly recedes to a water-shedding line of alpine sum-
mits along its southern boundary. The nearest other
part of the parish to this is a detached section, lU
miles to the east, surrounded on all sides by the parish
of Dull, and parts of the curiously scattered parish of
Weem, and extending in a stripe of irregular but gen-
erally narrow breadth, 4^ miles from north-west to
south-east, where it strikes the Tay. This district
is cut asunder across its narrow middle by the loch
of Glassy ; it has a lochlet near its north-west ex-
tremity ; and it is softened into amenity and beauty
toward the Tay; but elsewhere, it is wildly pastoral.
The next part of the parish is surrounded on all sides
by Dull, runs parallel to the former part at generally
a mile's distance, and is a stripe of 3J miles in length,
and I of a mile in mean breadth stretching south-
eastward to the Tay. This part has on its north-
eastern boundary the loch of Derculich, | of a mile
in length, and possesses over a large proportion of
its area, especially toward the Tay, a cultivated and
ornamental aspect, foiled by lofty grounds, at its
centre and in the north-west. The fourth and chief
part of the parish, or its main body, lies at the nearest
point, half-a-mile east of the part just noticed, and
14 miles in a straight line east of the part in Ran-
iioch. It consists of an irregular triangle, and an
attached parallelogram. The tiiangle lies between
the rivers Tay and Tummel, from their point of
confluence upward ; it measures 6 miles along the
Tummel in a straight line on the north-east, and is



there bounded by Moulin, by part of Dowally, and
by its own attached parallelogram ; 5i miles along
the T<)y on the south, and is there bounded by Little
Dunkeld and Dull ; and 4^ miles from the Tummel
to the Tay on the west, but sends westward a pro-
jection of 4 or 4^ square miles in area, and is there
bounded wholly by Dull. The parallelogram rests
one end for 2 miles on the Tummel, and for 1 mile
on the Tay, subsequent to the confluence of the
rivers; it recedes north-eastward 5j miles by 3 ;
and it is bounded on the north-west by part of
Dowally ; on the north-east by Strathardle in Kirk-
michael; on the south-east by Dunkeld; and on the
south-west by Little Dunkeld ; and by its own at-
tached triangle. Two-thirds of the parallelogram,
from the north-east boundary downward, are occu-
pied by the Braes of TuUimet, which give name to
a favourite Scottish air. Among the Braes are three
lakes, — the largest, Loch-Hoishne, circular in out-
line, and about 1| mile in circumference. A broad
belt of the parallelogram upon the Tummel is arable
ground. The triangle has an area singularly varied
and beautiful. Along the Tummel, or the north-east
side of the triangle, stretches Slesbeg, or ' the nar-
row country,' having woodlands which, in several
places, go down to the very brink of the river, and,
in one place, are very extensive. Slesbeg is flanked
over its whole length by a bold abrupt ridge of
heights which terminates, at the south-east, in preci-
pitous rocks. Parallel to this ridge, and close on the
south-west boundary, runs another ridge of similar
character, enclosing several lochlets, and sending
down mountain-brooks to drain the diversified sur-
face intervening between it and the other ridge.
The hills here and elsewhere, are, in their summits
and higher acclivities, partly covered with heath,
and partly a wild and triumphant exhibition of naked
and menacing rock. Along the Tay is a beautiful
broad belt of arable ground, forming part of Strath-
tay, and finely adorned with wood. The area here,
and along the two sides of the Tummel, and up the
lower slopes of the hills which acknowledges the
dominion of the plough, and displays the attractions
of full cultivation, aggregates nearly 3,000 acres.
So far back as the date of the Old Statistical Ac-
count, the country had advanced singularly far in
georgical skill and achievement, and in acquaintance-
ship with the best tools and appliances of husbandry.
Among the rocks is a variety of talc ; in one part of
Strath-tay, are several strata of limestone ; and in
some mosses fossil wood is occasionally found. Fruit-
trees and garden-shrubs agree well with the soil, and
are plentifully reared. The rivers frequently over-
flow their banks, convert the low grounds into tem-
porary lakes, break down barriers, and sweep away
land to the enlargement of their channels, and fling a
dash of wildness and sublimity over the landscape.
The country, in its ordinary state, ranks high in
scenic attraction. " A rock, not above a mile from
the church," says the statist, " commands a prospect
of a great part of the parish. The windings of the
rivers, the rich vales, the sloping corn-fields and pas-
tures, the hanging woodlands, and the awful moun-
tains which rise at a distance to confine the view,
form, all together, one of the noblest, landscapes, for
extent, variety, beauty, and grandeur, that the eye
can behold." Along the Tay, as well in the de-
tached sections as in the main body, are some fine
mansions. The village of Logierait lies 8 miles
east of Aberfeldy, and 8} north of Dunkeld. It is
finely situated on the banks of the Tay, here ancble
stream, and is noted for the distillation of whisky
in its vicinity, and conducts to some extent a manu-
facture in linen yarn. Here Charles Edward located
the prisoners whom he carried off from the field ol

Piestonpans; and here Rob Roy made his escape
after being apprehended by the Duke of Athole in
1717. Across the Tunimel, a mile above its confluence
with the Tay, and across the Tay i of a mile below
the confluence, are chain ferry-boats for the convey-
ance of passengers, cattle, carts, and carriages. Good
roads run along the Tay, and along both sides of
the Tunimel. Druidical stones and ruins of ancient
Romish chapels occur in various quarters. Cairns
formerly existed in several places, but have been re-
moved. A Roman urn and a medal of Trajan were
found in the parish. The ruins of a beacon-house
stand on a rock 2 miles from the manse. The ruins
of a castle, said to have been the residence of Robert
III. after he resigned the government to his brother,
the Duke of Albany, surmount a high bank near the
Tummel ferry. The area of the castle is elliptical,
and the fosse is in tolerable preservation. Popula-
tion, in 1801, 2,890; in 1831, 3,138. Houses 680.

Of the non-parochial schools, one is a free school,
another is endowed by the Society for propagating
Christian knowledge, and some are very small.

LOGIE-WESTER, a parish in Ross-shire united
to Urquhart : which see.

LOING (The), a small river of the western di-
vision of Ross-shire. It divides Kintail on its left
bank from Lochalsh on its right ; uniformly pursues
a south-westerly course ; falls into the head of Loch-
Long conjointly with the Elchaig coming from the
east-south-east ; and, though having an entire run
of only about 9 miles, is fed by so many mountain-
streams as to be subject to very sudden and great
freshets. Salmon once abounded in the rivulet, but
is now comparatively scarce.

LOMOND-HILLS (The), two beautiful coni-
cal trap hills, situated in the shires of Fife and Kin-
ross, and visible to a considerable distance. The
East Lomond, which is in the parish of Falkland in
Fifeshire, and is the most regular and beautiful, isgen-
erally stated to be about 1,260 feet above sea-level,
and 900 feet above the valley which separates it from
the Ochills ; but Mr. Cunningham, in his ' Geology
of the Lothians,' estimates its altitude at 1,466 feet.
This hill contains limestone and coal. The West
Lomond, which is in the parish of Portmoak in
Kinross-shire, is usually stated to be about 40 feet
higher, but Mr. Cunningham estimates it at 1,721
feet. At its base lies the beautiful and placid Loch-
Leven. Between the two principal Lomonds there
rises another point which is sometimes distinguished
as the Mid-Lomond, and composed of sandstone and
trap strata, surmounted by a greyish black basalt. In
some parts the Lomonds present a face of regular
columnar trap. See Falkland.

that the lake has received its present name. Anciently it was
called Loch-Leven, as appears from the chartularies of Lennox
and Piiisley, in which the lake and the river are frequently
mentioned. In livT), Maldowen, Earl of Levi-nachs, grants to
the monastery of Paisley the right of fishing "pertotam lacum

shore. It is nearly 30 miles \o,ig, and at its south
ern end, from 8 to 10 miles broad ; at the middle,
however, and towards the northern extremity, its
breadth is greatly diminished, — in some places to
less than a mile. The depth of the lake varies iis
much as its breadth : the southern portion seldom
exceeding 60 feet, whilst north of Luss, it increases
to 200 and 360 feet. Thirty islands, of different
sizes, are scattered over its surface, some of which
rise to a considerable height, and most of the larger
ones are finely wooded. See articles Inch-Cail-
LiACH, Inch-Clair, Inch-Conachan, Inch-Croin,
Inch-Galbraith, &c. The lake lies completely
imbedded amidst different ranges of hills. At the
