Description

Logie House was originally built in 1680 for James Elphinstone. It is a three-storey building featuring a circular angle tower, which now has a gutted stair. The east elevation facing the court has four windows, although it may have originally had five. Around 1740, a two-storey section was added to the north side of the court, which has irregular window arrangements and a buttressed one-window bay that slightly projects.

In approximately 1760, the original block was extended to the south, creating a two-storey structure that matches the height of the original three-storey building, with a three-window bow on the south side. A two-storey southeast wing with a four-window elevation was added slightly later. Between 1770 and 1780, a two-storey drawing room wing with a piend roof was added to the southwest, featuring a fine rococo ceiling, while a canted bay appears to be a slightly later addition. Around 1785, a matching northwest dining room wing was constructed, which includes a one-window pedimented and quoined section that contains the entrance hall and staircase, forming a symmetrical west front.

The staircase is very plain and is lit by an ogee-capped lantern light. The dining room has a good ceiling of late Adam style, which was applied from moulds and may be a few years younger than the room itself. Diagonally set square piend-roofed game larders flank the gate, which dates to around 1800, although the chamfered archway of the gate itself is likely part of the original 1680 work. There is a cross-corridor in the court and a poorly designed stuccoed porch at the west front, both of which are unfortunate Victorian additions. The building is harled with margins throughout, has coped chimneys, and the woodwork is almost entirely from the 18th century, except in the north wing.
