1. The Old School House
This year our aim is to raise funding to repair the Old School House bring it up to the same condition as the ruin acting now can stop the deterioration of the remains and secure it in line with the other structures that have been repaired. The two enclosures to the East of the ruin have been funded and are due to be repaired soon the re-pointing of the walls and the repair of the ironwork by replacing the missing Fleur-De-Lis and pinning the loose iron rods. It is also intended to repair the south entrance steps which suffered badly during the winter frosts. They are in a very poor condition and we are now in a position to have them repaired. The West boundary wall is in poor condition and we await word from Ochils Landscape re funding for this part of the repairs.

The History of Old Logie Kirk
Early records indicate a church at Logie since the 12th.century.The Old Kirk was built around 1380. Alexander Fargy being recorded as the first minister of the reformed church in 1567.The Kirk is surrounded by a traditional circular graveyard. Old stones dating back as far as 1620 illustrate old trades and morality symbols. There is an earlier Hogback stone by the east wall of the Kirk yard. By 1801 the Old Kirk was in a bad state of repair. Sir Robert Abercromby of Airthrey gifted land and a new church was built on a new site 500 yards to the south of the ruin.
The passage of time and financial cutbacks have left the Old Kirk and graveyard in need of some care and attention. There is now an urgent need to get something done about the neglect of this very historical site within the Parish Logieogg aims to preserve this important site for the future generations.
