The Church of Rogart was given by Bishop Gilbert (bishop in the second quarter of the 13th century) to the Church of Dornoch.

The church, dedicated apparently to a saint known locally as St Callan, was repaired between 1602 and 1619 by Sir Robert Gordon. The church appears to have stood at all times in the village of Rogart where the present building was erected in 1777 (but see also NC70SW 16 - St Callan's Chapel - site).

Orig Paroch Scot 1855.
