Deriving their name from the lands in Ayrshire where they were settled from the earliest times, the Logans played a key role in the struggle for Scotland's freedom and independence.
Following the death of Robert the Bruce in 1329, Sir Walter Logan was one of his trusted knights tasked with a mission to place his embalmed heart before the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
In more peaceful times, Scots-born Graeme Andrew Logan is the senior Conservative party politician better known by his adopted name Michael Gove, while a noted family dynasty of entertainers includes the later singer Ella Logan and her nephew the comedian, actor and theatre owner Jimmy Logan, who died in 2001.
Shot through with high drama, the stirring tales of the Logans are presented here.
