Ca na Catanach (translation: "Sutherland Men's Path") is a road and footpath between Sutherland and Caithness in the northeastern Scottish Highlands.[1] Noted as a medieval drovers' road by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland,[2] it is also a 35 km (22 mi) Heritage Path.[3] Its start point is at Dorrery Lodge and it ends just north of Achentoul. The 14 km (8.7 mi) section from Thurso to Kinbrace is a rough walking path.[4] A 19th century estate road overlies Ca na Catanach.[5]
