Rogart (meaning "great enclosed field")[1] is a small village in Sutherland, Highland, Scotland. The village was the home of Major Andrew MacDonald, who fought in the French and Indian War.[2]
It was originally a scattered crofting village, until the opening of the Rogart railway station at Pittentrail NaNmiles to the southeast. A newer industrial village grew after the arrival of the railway in 1886, with the older village remaining.[3]
The village of Golspie is 9miles east of Rogart.
