The focus of what has long been known as Rogart Parish is its church. This lies a mile or so north of the crossroads near Rogart Station along single track roads. Today's white harled church dates back to 1777 and was probably designed by James Boag, a self taught architect based in Golspie who is remembered as much for the violence of his temper as for his buildings.
Rogart Parish was created as early as the first half of the 1200s when Alexander II created the 1st Earl of Sutherland. It is thought that the 1770 church is only the latest in a series built on the same site.
It is located at NC7387503525 (Lat/Lon 58.002969, -4.135781). You can see this on maps provided by:
