Aultnacaillich, a place in Durness parish, Sutherland, in Strathmore, 18 miles SSE of Durness village. It was the birthplace of Robert Calder Mackay (1714-78), commonly called Rob Donn (` Brown Robert '), regarded as the Burns of the Northern Highlands. A fine waterfall is on one side of it; and the famous tower or round burg of Dornadilla on the other. A neat monument to Rob Donn, with inscriptions in Gaelic, English, Latin, and Greek, was erected in Durness churchyard in 1829.
