Carn Liath is an Iron Age broch located near Golspie in the Scottish Highlands. With an external diameter of 19 metres and an internal diameter of 10 metres, it boasts a thick wall and a complex entrance passage featuring door checks and a bar-hole. The area surrounding it contains the ruins of additional stone buildings, adding to its unique charm.
