Statement of Interest

The buildings marked on this site on the OS Map of 1847-48 do not follow the form plan of the existing buildings. Extensive Baronial additions were made to Logan House (see separate listing) in 1874 by David Bryce, and it is possible that Bryce also designed the coach house and stable block at that time.

See separate listings for Logan: Bridge; Folly Tower; Hen Knowe Cottages; Logan House; Logan Botanic Garden; Logan Fish Pond, Cottage and Bathing Hut.
