GROUNDS - LOGIE COUNTRY HOUSE

Logie Country House has six acres of lawns, woodland and orchards. The main lawn to the south of the house, has magnificent views over the foot hills of Bennachie and leads down to the banks of the river Urie. A footbridge takes you from the lawn, across the river, to a private island, a favourite for picnics, fishing and relaxing. There is a tree house for the older children to play in and a hidden gravestone for the children that don't like heights to find. Otters frequent the island and you will oftern see Heron perched on rocks in the river, especially during the salmon spawning season.

The Ancient woodland to the west of the house is carpeted in snowdrops, daffodils and bluebells from the end of winter into early summer. Three Pictish standing stones were moved into the woodland in the 1800s and now, listed as a scheduled ancient monument, stand at the foot of a Beech tree. There are red squirrels in the woods too  (We have hazelnut feeders to attract them) and they frequently come right up to the house.

To the north of the house, is a lawn for the guest wing, as well as a small apple and plum orchard with a trampoline, climbing frame and picnic table for the children.

The estate has miles of walks and tracks for cycling and riding. 

The Urie is renown for brown trout and salmon and guests are welcome to try their luck at fishing (We can provide rods)

Most of our fields have wide grass margins for use as canter tracks and gallops. We are currently installing a cross country course, a 20,40 riding school and a further 8 stables in 2012
