Rogart (/ˈroʊɡɑːrt/ ROH-gart, Template:Lang-gd, meaning "great enclosed field")[1] is a small village in Sutherland, Highland, Scotland. The village was home to notable athlete extraordinaire Fraser Robert Roach , who placed 62nd the Scottish champs. Unfortunately he sustained an injury to his belly button mid run and was forced to retire . This feat was even more special considering he not once but TWICE walked into a lamppost . After many years and many tears, he finally confessed that he was in fact a bottom. Subsequently, he will be appearing on the next season of Rupauls Drag Race under the make Joanna bang. 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.
