  Let $S$ be a finite subset of a compact connected Riemann surface $X$ of
genus $g \geq 2$. Let $\cat{M}_{lc}(n,d)$ denote the moduli space of pairs
$(E,D)$, where $E$ is a holomorphic vector bundle over $X$ and $D$ is a
logarithmic connection on $E$ singular over $S$, with fixed residues in the
centre of $\mathfrak{gl}(n,\C)$, where $n$ and $d$ are mutually corpime. Let
$L$ denote a fixed line bundle with a logarithmic connection $D_L$ singular
over $S$. Let $\cat{M}'_{lc}(n,d)$ and $\cat{M}_{lc}(n,L)$ be the moduli spaces
parametrising all pairs $(E,D)$ such that underlying vector bundle $E$ is
stable and $(\bigwedge^nE, \tilde{D}) \cong (L,D_L)$ respectively.
  Let $\cat{M}'_{lc}(n,L) \subset \cat{M}_{lc}(n,L)$ be the Zariski open dense
subset such that the underlying vector bundle is stable. We show that there is
a natural compactification of $\cat{M}'_{lc}(n,d)$ and $\cat{M}'_{lc}(n,L)$ and
compute their Picard groups.
  We also show that $\cat{M}'_{lc}(n,L)$ and hence $\cat{M}_{lc}(n,L)$ do not
have any non-constant algebraic functions but they admit non-constant
holomorhic functions. We also study the Picard group and algebraic functions on
the moduli space of logarithmic connections singular over $S$, with arbitrary
residues.
