    A highlight of Lewis island, the Callanish Stones are a collection of standing stones placed in a cruciform pattern and stone circle. The stones were erected during the late Neolithic era and an important place of ritual during the Bronze Age. There is also a chambered tomb.

    You can visit the stones at any time of the day and some people even camp here. There is a cafe open 9.30am - 8pm during peak summer months. You can find more information, here: callanishvisitorcentre.co.uk

      There are a few smaller stone circles just before you get to these stones about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile from here. Couple of wee cafes around here and 1 with Lamas.
