About Carn Liath
Carn Liath is a fine example of a solid-based broch tower. It stands at 3m tall today, but when complete it could have been at least three times that. Carn Liath’s surrounding enclosure also contains the ruins of an associated village - a rare survival of stone houses and outbuildings - the earliest of which would have been contemporary with the broch. The site is under the care of Historic Environment Scotland and has a car-park and information board for visitors.Address : Carn Liath, Pitlochry PH18 5TT, UK

Attractions Near Carn Liath
Beinn a' GhlòBeinn a’ Ghlò is a Scottish mountain situated north east of Blair Atholl in the Forest of Atholl in between Glen Tilt and Glen Loch, in Cairngorms National Park. A complex hill with many ridges, summits and corries, covering approximately 40 km2 with three Munros. The mountain has patches of grey scree amongst grass, while heather grows quite profusely on the lower slopes and gives the hill a colourful skirt when in bloom in summer.
Carn a' ChlamainThe conical and bouldery summit of Carn a' Chlamain sits above a vast expanse of high-level heather-clad Tarf moorland that is split by a variety of carries. The hill is almost invariably climbed from Glen Tilt. The most common route starts at Forest Lodge in Glen Tilt, from where a stalker's path climbs the steep side of the glen in a succession of zig-zags before crossing the plateau to the summit.
