**Ca na Catanach** (translation: "Sutherland Men's Path")[1] is a road and footpath between [Sutherland](/source/Sutherland) and [Caithness](/source/Caithness) through the [moorland](/source/Moorland) in the northeastern [Scottish Highlands](/source/Scottish_Highlands).[2][3] Noted as a [post-medieval](/source/Post-medieval_archaeology) [drovers' road](/source/Drovers'_road) in the [Highland Historic Environment Record](/source/Sites_and_monuments_record),[1] it is also a 22-mile (35-kilometre) [Heritage](/source/Scottish_Natural_Heritage) Path.[4] Its start point is at [Dorrery](/source/Dorrery) Lodge and it ends just north of [Achentoul](/source/Achentoul). The 9-mile (14-kilometre) section from [Thurso](/source/Thurso) to [Kinbrace](/source/Kinbrace) is a rough walking path.[5] A 19th-century estate road overlies Ca na Catanach.[6] In the 1870s [Ordnance Survey](/source/Ordnance_Survey) recorded that point the drove road crosses the historic county border is atop of an eminence known as Cnoc nan Goile, and the name Ca-na-Catanach only applies to the section between Dorrery and Cnoc nan Goile.[2]
