It’s not just Orkney where you can find the remains of brochs.
This one, Càrn Liath Broch, lies west of the A 9 just north of Golspie, Sutherland, Scotland. It’s very well preserved.
Park at the lay-by on the other die of the road – take care crossing, it’s fairly busy – and it’s a short walk to the broch
