Càrn Liath (English: Grey Cairn) is an Iron Age old broch on the east shores of the Scottish Highlands, near Golspie, Sutherland. The broch was first excavated in the 19th century by the Duke of Sutherland and it was initially considered to be to be a burial cairn. The preserved walls still stand 12 feet high in places.
