Greetings, Michael!
My wife was in Logie Pert, Scotland a short while ago. Logie Pert is about 7 miles to the west of Montrose (nearest city that's on a map) and consists of a small group of houses, a church and a small cemetery all along one road. The church was sold recently to an architect who plans on remodelling it into a residence for himself. The church has be vacant for some time and all records have been tranferred intact. The organ was sold about a year ago and is in the process of being rebuilt to be installed in a small church quite some distance away. The cemetery is not beside the church but down the road and is intact. Headstones are moss-covered and deteriorating.
Logie Pert was the "bedroom" community for two large woolen and bleaching mills located in Craigo Works. The mills went out 80+ years ago and the town lost its population. Population is now about 50, maybe.
If I can answer any questions, please let me know.
