The Calanais Standing Stones can be found on the west coast of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. The stones are made of Lewisian Gneiss which is one of the oldest rocks in Britain and dates back 3000 million years.

They predate England’s famous Stonehenge monument, and were an important place for ritual activity for at least 2,000 years.
