Blairlogie is a village in the Stirling council area of Scotland, situated at the base of the great southern rock-face of Dumyat between Stirling and Menstrie. It was one of central Scotland's earliest Conservation villages. Blairlogie mainly comprises 17th-19th-century cottages.
Blairlogie forms part of the parish of the ancient Logie Kirk which lies to its west.
At the foot of Castle Law (and giving its name to the hill) stood Blairlogie Castle, built in 1543 by Alexander Spittal and surviving until the early 20th century. The castle and surrounding estate was purchased by Lt Col Hare of Calder Hall in 1891 who extensively rebuilt it.[1]
Between 1598 and 1609, the minister of Logie Kirk was the poet Alexander Hume.
The Scottish International rugby player Kenny Logan used to live in the village and several of his relatives live in the area.
