Logie Coldstone in History
Early in the 17th century the parishes of Logie (or Logie-Mar) and Coldstone were united to form Logie Coldstone.
The village kirk ("Newkirk of Logie Coldstone") was built in 1781 and extended in 1876. It was converted to a private residence in 1993.
The village has a war memorial dedicated to 27 men who fell in the First World War and 5 who fell on the Second World War. It was erected outside the kirk, which is now a private residence.
