Logie Old Kirkyard and Ruined Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Well worth a stop. From Historic Scotlsnd - "The Old Kirk at Logie is a hidden gem, nestling in a peaceful spot below Dumyat at the western end of the Ochil Hills. Originally dedicated to St Serf, 12th century records name Ysaac Michael as 'clerk parson' in 1178. While early records are sketchy, post-Reformation Presbytery minutes illuminate the later history of the church, which was built about 1598 on the footprint of an earlier building"

Mentrie Switchbacks

Highlight • Viewpoint

Amazing gravel switch back ascent (or descent) giving superb views over the Forth Valley. Gradual gradient so not too difficult or technical.
