LOGIERAIT, a '''parish''', in the county of Perth, containing the village of Ballenluig, part of that of Aberfeldy, and part of the late quoad sacra district of Rannoch, 8 miles (N. N. W.) from Dunkeld. This place, frequently called Laggan by the inhabitants, derives its name from the two words ''Logie'' and ''Rait'' or ''Reite'', the first signifying a "hollow," and the latter "arbitration" or "settlement of differences," the Court of Regality under the jurisdiction of the house of Atholl having been formerly held in this locality, where a large court-house stood. The church was built in 1806, and is conveniently situated within half a mile of the junction of the Tay and Tummel, and in the vicinity of the principal ferries; it contains accommodation for 1000 persons. There is an '''episcopal''' chapel; and a place of worship for '''Baptists''' has been erected.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43460#s17 A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland]'' (1846), pp. 197-216.
