Reconstruction of an Iron Age house

The current cemetery was built sometime after 1878, when the villagers were resettled elsewhere on the island. Prior to that, the cemetery was located at Little Bernera, which meant transporting the remains across the Kyle by boat. The wall surrounding the cemetery was built from stones from the nearby cleared houses. The first burial took place in 1906, and the area has been expanded twice.

You cross the Carloway Stone Bridge: a sturdy 19th-century remnant, no longer a major function, but a dignified support for the old A858. Its heritage is so significant that it has been protected as a Category B monument since 1993.

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.

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.

You'll feel like you've stepped back in time and experienced life in a typical small-scale farming community of the last century. You can observe traditional crafts, including the weaving of the famous Harris Tweed. You can purchase souvenirs of your visit in the small shop and enjoy delicious homemade food in the cafeteria. https://www.gearrannan.com/
