Logierait (/ˈloʊɡiˌreɪt/; Template:Langx) is a village and parish in Atholl, Scotland. It is situated at the confluence of the rivers Tay and Tummel, Page Template:Fraction/styles.css has no content.500 metres (1⁄4 mile) west of the A9 road in Perth and Kinross.
Its name originates from Gaelic Script error: No such module "Lang"., meaning the little hollow of the earth-walled fort, though in recent Gaelic it is now simply called Script error: No such module "Lang"..
Nearby was an ancient ash tree, the Dule Tree of the district from which thieves and murderers were hanged.
Above the village is the site of a major early royal castle, perhaps the 'rath' of the place-name, still marked by a large ditch. This was probably the seat or caput of the mormaers of Atholl. The ancient promontory fort is marked by a huge 'Celtic' cross, a monument to the 6th Duke of Atholl (1814–1864).
The church is of early Christian origin, as shown by the presence of two Pictish cross-slabs: one in the churchyard, discovered in or before 1878; the other, identified in 1989, in the church. Both are classified as Class II Pictish stones (dressed stones, relief carving). The church's dedication is to Coeddi, Bishop of Iona in the early 8th century, perhaps the founder of the church here.[1] The present church building, however, dates from the early 19th century, and is protected as a category B listed building.[2]
The school dates from 1863 and was also built by the 6th Duke. It was designed by the Edinburgh architects R & R Dickson.[3]
