Caithness CWS - Geography - Walks - Dunbeath Strath

The Dunbeath Estate stretches from the coast to the Glutt Water and the Flow Country covering about 40,000 acres. The main drainage in the area is the Dunbeath Water and its tributary the Houstry Burn. The whole area is largely devoid of population reflecting earlier moves to the coastal strip.
