PARISH OF LOGIE.

THIS PARISH, containing the hamlets of Logie and Lucklawhill Feus, is in the north-east of the County. It is bounded by the parishes of Leuchars and Dairsie on the south, by Kilmany on the west, by Kilmany and Forgan on the north, and by Leuchars on the east. Its entire length north-eastward is nearly four miles, and its greatest breadth about one and a half mile. It occupies a portion of the eastern extremity of the Ochils, which are here broken into parallel ridges. Its general surface is irregular and hilly, and considerably elevated above the valley of the Eden. The highest eminence is Lucklawhill, near the eastern extremity, which is 626 feet above the level of the sea. It commands an extensive prospect, particularly towards the north and east. This hill consists of a yellow coloured felspar porphyry, very hard and susceptible of a fine polish. The summit is compact flesh-red felspar. The total area is upwards of 3300 acres, of which about 2800 are arable, 300 pastoral, or waste land, and about 250 under wood. The soil varies much; in many places, particularly on the slopes of the hills, it is a rich fertile loam, while in other parts it is moorish and thin. The hamlets of Logie and Lucklawhill are generally inhabited by feuars and agricultural labourers; and, at present, the Parish contains neither vintner, tailor, shoemaker, nor black-smith: any of the inhabitants who may require the services of such functionaries must seek them in one of the adjoining parishes.

The Parish Church is at Logie, and is conveniently situated for the great majority of the inhabitants. There is also a Free Church at Logie, the minister of which officiates alternately there, and at Gauldry in the neighbouring parish of Balmerino. The Parish School, which is at Logie, is the only educational establishment in the Parish.

The POST TOWN is Cupar.- A walking postman leaves Cupar about 9.20 A. M., and travels along the road, by Denbrae, Craigsanquhar, and Logie, to Kilmany, returning in time for the afternoon's earliest despatch.
