Thanks for pointing out this as a highlight: there wasn't one on site! I would have thought it was a discarded dresser. Inside (apart from the cash register), there's a fun mix: drink bottles, T-shirts for children aged 7-8, and keychains with a scrap of Tweet fabric. It was so exotic (and a change from the boring walk from one stone circle to the next), I'll gladly give it a thumbs up.

Because it's been mentioned here: signs with explanations explicitly ask visitors NOT to touch the stones. Touching them isn't good for them, and that's exactly why (because people just couldn't resist it) Stonehenge was eventually sealed off and is as sad as it is today. The visitor center has been undergoing major expansion for some time now and is inaccessible!

Pleasant walk, either along the coast (with appropriate walking equipment) or on a passable path.

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.

The Callanish Standing Stones are a remarkable ancient site on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland. They are a group of 13 stones arranged in a circle, with four rows of smaller stones radiating from it. They were erected around 5,000 years ago and may have been used for astronomical observations or rituals.
