Dirnanean House is part of a private, traditional Highland estate located near Enochdhu in Moulin parish, Blairgowrie, Perth and Kinross, Scotland, 10 miles ENE of Pitlochry. The Dirnanean estate is situated adjacent to the 64-mile waymarked Cateran Trail.
Dirnanean's steading house, lime kiln and shepherd's house are all Category B listed buildings.[1]
The name Dirnanean is likely a derivation of Gaelic term Dur-nan-eun meaning "the birds' water"[2] or alternately, but similarly, Doire nan Eun meaning "bird grove".[3]
