Rogart (Template:Lang-gd, meaning "great enclosed field")[1] is a village in Sutherland, Highland, Scotland. It was originally a scattered crofting village, until the opening of the Rogart railway station at Pittentrail 1.5 miles to the southeast. A newer industrial village grew after the arrival of the railway in 1886, with the older village remaining.[2]
The village of Golspie is 9 miles east of Rogart.
