Stage Two Cateran Trail

Enochdhu means ‘black meadow’ or ‘moor’ and was once where Caterans gathered after a raid. Dirnanean Garden is on the route – open during summer months – and worth a visit for walkers with time in hand. Rising to over 650m / 2100ft above sea level, there are spectacular views of rugged peaks. For those interested in wildlife, you may be rewarded with a glimpse of red deer or an eagle soaring overhead. Along the path, a timber ‘lunch hut, originally provided by the estate for shooting parties, offers an ideal resting place.
