thumb|right|upright|Andrew MacDonald (1721–1812) It was originally a scattered crofting parish centred on the parish church of St Callan's, until the opening of the Rogart railway station at Pittentrail to the southeast. The locus of the parish shifted when a new 'industrial' village grew around Pittentrail following the arrival of the railway in 1886.
