The Kirklands, Logie Pert

The Kirklands in Logie Pert is a former manse built around 1776, which was remodeled and extended in the late 19th century. Originally a two-story, three-bay L-plan building, it became an irregular shape due to the later additions. The main elevation features a central ashlar porch with a pedimented gable and a later lean-to addition. The rear (north) elevation includes a full-height gabled return. The east elevation has a later 19th-century advanced gabled wing, which features a two-storey canted bay on the main (south) elevation. Additionally, there is a single-storey, single-bay block attached to the east elevation.

The building has a grey slate roof, which has been badly damaged by fire in 2023, particularly affecting the main block and the advanced east wing. The roof features block skewputts on the later wing, corniced gablehead chimneystacks, and octagonal cans. The walls are made of cream coursed ashlar sandstone with polished dressings on the main (south) elevation, while the other elevations are constructed of squared and snecked rubble sandstone. The west elevation is harled. The windows display a variety of glazing patterns, including twin and 12-pane timber sliding sashes, with some single windows on the main elevation enlarged to form bipartites.

Images of the interior taken in 2023 show that the building has been modernized, but some early features remain. The earlier section is characteristically plain, while the later addition includes moulded cornicing and window and door architraves.

To the east of the manse, there is an associated U-plan steading, which was shown as an L-plan steading on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map from 1862 but was extended by the late 19th century, as indicated on the Ordnance Survey map surveyed in 1901.
