Carn Liath Broch - Brochs are a prehistoric Iron Age building type unique to Scotland and were first constructed between 400 and 200 BC, with Carn Liath probably being around 2,200 years old. Brochs often have circular internal ground plan with drystone walls capable of rising to tower-like heights. Carn Liath is one of the best-preserved examples of a broch in northern mainland Scotland. It is also very close to the main A9 and is easily visited by parking in the area provided and carefully crossing the busy road to the path to the broch. Carn Liath is one of the easiest brochs to find and visit in the north of Scotland and is between Golspie and Brora, and when travelling north, it is just over a mile from Dunrobin Castle. It is free to visit and open all year round.
