The Cateran Trail is a circular route covering 64 miles (103 km) of old drove roads and tracks through forests, over moors and across farmland. It takes its name from the lawless cattle thieves who raided Strathardle, Glenshee and Glen Isla, spiriting cattle away by dead of night or into ancient misty mornings.
The Trail can be tackled in five easy stages. (Or walked in 4/5 days.) It is fully waymarked with Cateran Trail signs – plus a few unique hand-carved posts that are discoverable. It is advisable to carry a map And cache safely i.e equipped for all weather conditions.
The name Enochdhu means `black meadow` or `moor` and this settlement was once a gathering point for caterans following a raid.
Making your way up the trail from Enochdhu you come across a meadow with views across to the hills. Plenty of berries to snack on here.
