Logie Steading

About

Logie Steading Visitor Centre, nestled on the picturesque Moray coast near Forres, is a living tribute to Scottish rural heritage and community spirit. Originally built as a model farm in the 1920s, the complex of sandstone farm buildings now hosts a vibrant collection of independent shops, a celebrated café, a second‑hand bookshop, fashion outlets, a gallery, and a gift shop – all rooted in the local craft and produce scene. Visitors can also explore the Logie House Gardens, a beautiful landscaped sanctuary that offers a peaceful retreat amid native woodland and the gentle flow of the River Findhorn. The centre remains a hub for outdoor adventures, serving as a base for salmon fishing, outdoor activity companies, and pop‑up events that transform the space into a dynamic theatre of seasonal experiences. Beyond its retail and dining treasures, Logie Steading is home to the Logie herd of Longhorn cattle—established in 1982—providing a living link to the estate’s agricultural past and a delightful attraction for families. The grounds also feature a playground and a network of walking routes along the river, ideal for nature lovers and those seeking a leisurely stroll. Open seven days a week from 10 am to 4 pm, the centre welcomes visitors to immerse themselves in a blend of history, local culture, and natural beauty. Whether you’re a heritage enthusiast, a foodie craving regional flavours, or simply looking for a quiet day outdoors, Logie Steading offers a charming, authentic experience that showcases the best of Scotland’s rural landscape.
