Rogart (/ˈroʊɡɑːrt/ ROH-gart, Scottish Gaelic: Sgìre Raoird or Raoghard, 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 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) 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 9 miles (14 km) east of Rogart.
