Parish notes
For the second element, see also Logie Easter LOE ROS. Probably a prebend of Ross by 1274, when the parsonage and vicarage separately assessed. It was certainly a prebend by 1458 (Cowan 1967, s.n.). No changes noted in Shennan 1892. Note that there is a medieval round tower at the east end, the upper part of which (in different stone, and more dressed) is dated 1616 (Alston 1999, 182).
