Carn Liath broch, Farr (Bunahoun Broch)

Not much to see above ground, but a few stones of the lower course of the outer wall are still there.

Parking is a problem, and I had to find a grassy verge a fair bit away and walk to the site. There is a gate into the field right beside the broch, so access is easy. See the photo below.

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.
