Carn Liath broch and Ben Bhraggie - image 1117

Just three miles south of Brora is the Carn Liath Broch, with good parking and easy access close by. Much of the original ground level structure is still in good repair and there is even a small chamber built into the stone wall by the entrance.

Archaeologists have found holes in the floor for wooden posts which suggests there was an internal structure and probably even a roof.




From the car park there is a footpath to the right of the photograph which crosses the main road and leads down to the broch.
