Logie Clan — History, Crest, Motto, Variants, Tartan

Celebrate your Logie heritage with authentic details drawn from Scottish tradition.

History & Origins
The Logie surname is territorial, derived from places named Logie across Scotland, especially in Angus, Fife, and Aberdeenshire. The name comes from the Gaelic lagan or log, meaning “a hollow” or “low place.” Families of this name were established in the medieval period and are recorded in early charters. Today, Logie is considered an armigerous clan — a historic Scottish family without a currently recognized chief.

Crest & Motto
• Crest: A hand raised in oath, with two fingers extended upright
• Motto: Tam Marte Quam Arte — “As much by skill as by strength”
• Badge etiquette: As an armigerous name, Logie clansfolk wear a crest badge based on this traditional crest and motto.

Septs & Spellings
Variants of the name include Logie, Loggie, Logy, and Luggie.

Tartan
• Logie Tartan: There is no ancient clan tartan officially recorded for Logie, but family and district tartans are available, often linked with Angus or Fife. Some modern mills also offer Logie tartans for family use.
• These tartans are ideal for kilts, scarves, ties, sashes, and accessories that reflect Logie heritage.

How to Wear
• Pair the Logie crest badge with a Logie or regional tartan for formal occasions.
• Perfect for weddings, Highland games, and heritage gatherings—on kilts, shawls, stoles, and neckwear.
