Callanish Stones

The Callanish Stones are an extraordinary megalithic monument on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, and in Ross-shire. The monument is an arrangement of tall standing stones placed in a cruciform pattern with a central stone circle.

They stones are found near the village of Callanish on the west coast of Lewis. (Read more)
