Logie Old Church is a medieval church and churchyard located in Perthshire, Scotland, situated approximately 30 metres south-east of Garden Cottage. The monument is protected by Historic Environment Scotland under designation SM2798. The church occupies ground underlain by the Arbuthnott-Garvock Group, a formation of Early Devonian age comprising primarily sandstone with subordinate bands of conglomerate, siltstone and mudstone. This local geology would have provided accessible building stone for the medieval construction.
The site represents a typical pattern of rural ecclesiastical settlement in medieval Scotland, with the church and its surrounding churchyard forming a discrete sacred precinct. The proximity to Garden Cottage indicates the enduring significance of this location as a focal point within the local landscape. Such churches commonly served as burial grounds and centres of worship for the immediately surrounding agricultural community.
The monument survives as a testament to medieval religious practice in the region, preserving evidence of centuries of Christian worship and commemoration. The churchyard boundaries and any remaining structural elements of the church building retain archaeological potential for understanding the medieval settlement pattern and social organisation of medieval Perthshire.
