Pittentrail

Pittentrail (Scottish Gaelic:Bad an Tràill) is a hamlet on the A839 road, in the Rogart estate in eastern Sutherland, in the Scottish Highlands. The River Fleet runs to the south. The settlement became better known in the area when Rogart Station was built in the village. The station is no longer used for its original purpose. Instead, the station buildings have been converted into private residential use. The station yard has been made into gardens, with old signs and other railway memorabilia lying about. The original sidings have been retained, and the train carriages sitting on them converted into a novel independent youth hostel, known as sleeperzzz.com (sic). The lively Pittentrail Inn is on the north side of the village, near the war memorial.
