Greenhill Broch (Mid Clyth)

Greenhill broch or Mid Clyth broch as it's also known is right beside the A9 opposite Mid Clyth cemetary.There isn't anything to see other than a grassy mound, but I suspect there is much underground waiting to be excavated. The dyke looks as if it was built with stone from the broch.

Access is easy through the gate into the field beside the single track road to Camster. Parking, however, isn't quite so easy. You might have to find somewhere to park and then walk to the site.

Disclaimer: Some brochs were built with military defensive purpose, and as such can be situated in extremely dangerous areas, such as on the edge of cliffs and ravines. Additionally, these are Iron Age structures, most of them in ruins, and they are extremely hazardous, with crumbling stone walls and hidden chambers. Existing walls, lintels, and passages could collapse at any time. The information here is provided free but it is your responsibility to ensure its accuracy, ensure your own safety, and acquire permissions for access where necessary. Accessing brochs is done entirely at your own risk.
