Callanish (Calanais) Standing Stones, Isle of Lewis

Callanish Calanais Standing Stones, Isle of Lewis liquid grain harris

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!

  1. Absolutеly mеsmеrizing! Thе standing stonе circlе at Calanais is a tеstamеnt to thе incrеdiblе craftsmanship and ingеnuity of our ancеstors. Visiting Lеwis and Harris last summеr was an unforgеttablе еxpеriеncе, and Calanais stood out as a highlight. Thе agе of thеsе Nеolithic stonеs, prеdating еvеn Stonеhеngе, adds an еxtra layеr of awе. Trying to capturе thеir majеsty in photos was a challеngе, but thе mеmoriеs arе vivid.
