Logie Country House

Overview

Logie Elphinstone House was built in the 1670s near the Royal Burgh of Inverurie, 17 miles to the west of Aberdeen.

The guest wing of the house is now available for holiday letting. Joined to the main house by the tower, with it's own private entrance from the north lawn, it comfortably sleeps 8-10 in 5 bedrooms. The house has an indoor infinity pool, well equipt gym and 8 seater Jacuzzi.

Inside the property is spacious, warm and modern, while still retaining the feeling of it's roots in Scottish centuries past.

Outside is a sheltered, enclosed courtyard, with deep borders of flowers, pots of herbs and vegetables.

The six acres of gardens, lawns and ancient woodland, make a tranquil place for walking, picnics & fishing and relaxing. The drive is lined with wild cherry trees and there are apple, plums, gooseberries, redcurrants, raspberries and pears for the taking. There is a tree house on the island and trampoline & climbing frame by the stables. The river Urie runs through the garden before joining the Don. It teems with brown trout and is rarely fished.

The garden is frequented by red squirrel, deer, rabbits and buzzards. Woodpeckers feed in the courtyard, owls perch on the tower at night and swallows nest in nearly every south facing upstairs window. Wagtails and swifts nest in the log stores and outhouses. Water vole are being re-introduced and there are otters there in residence.

The house faces south, has beautiful views over the foothills of Bennachie from the lawn and is about 5 miles from the Royal burgh of Inverurie. There are easy travel links from the A96, by air from Aberdeen Airport (16 miles) and by train from Inverurie (5 miles)
