Parish notes

Parishes of Logie Wester (LWX) and Urquhart (UQX) united in c.1669 (Watson 1904, 113). However, Robert Monro, minister of Urquhart and Logy, witnesses a will in 1586 (Chisholm Writs no. 32). The new parish kirk was built c. 800 metres to west of the medieval kirk of Urquhart in 1795 (Alston 1999, 190).
