History & Origins
The Logan clan is of ancient Celtic origin, with the name thought to come from the Gaelic lagan meaning “a hollow” or “low-lying place.” The family established themselves early in Ayrshire, Lanarkshire, and later in the Highlands. A notable branch of the Logans became hereditary standard bearers to the Scottish kings. The Logans are historically linked with both Lowland and Highland traditions, reflecting their wide presence across Scotland.
