The Church of Rogart was given by Bishop Gilbert (bishop second quarter of 13th century) to Church of Dornoch.
H Morrison 1883.

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 village of Rogart where present building was erected in 1777 (but see also NC70SW 16 - St Callan's Chapel - site).
