= | LOGIE, a '''parish''', in the counties of Clackmannan, Perth, and Stirling, 2 miles (N. E. by N.) from Stirling; containing the villages of Craigmill, Menstrie, Blairlogie, Bridge of Allan, and Causeyhead. Logie derives its name from the Gaelic word ''lag'' or ''laggie'', denoting "low or flat ground," the lands consisting principally of an extensive tract of perfectly level country. The church, built in 1805, is a neat edifice containing sittings for 644 persons, and is beautifully situated at the foot of the Ochil mountains. The members of the '''Free Church''' have a place of worship.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43460#s10 A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland]'' (1846), pp. 197-216.
