    Unlike other stone circles, the Stones of Callanish, or "Calanais" in Gaelic, on the Isle of Lewis are not evenly hewn, giving each stone its own unique character. Furthermore, Callanish is not just a simple circle, but several interwoven geometric shapes, with a large, four-and-a-half-meter-high monolith at its center. A true stone giant. The surrounding standing stones are shorter, so it almost appears as if it rises toward the center.

        Smaller stone circle near the main plant. It consists of five standing stones and three fallen stones.
