Callanish (Calanais) Standing Stones, Isle of Lewis

When we visited the Lewis and Harris last summer, we had plenty to see and do and one thing which appears on every "to-do" list is the standing stone circle at Calanais or Callanish. 

These Neolithic standing stones are really quite special and some of the more impressive standing stones I've been lucky enough to visit.  They were built between 2900 and 2600BC and still here today! This makes them older than Stonehenge!

It's quite tricky to take photos of them (although I imagine a drone shot would be amazing) but think we did okay here!
