Callanish Stones

Callanish Stones is a prehistoric monument located on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. It is a collection of standing stones arranged in a cruciform pattern, dating back to the Neolithic era. The site is considered to be one of the most important megalithic structures in Europe and attracts visitors from all over the world. The stones are not only a popular tourist attraction but also a favorite location for photographers. The dramatic landscape of the Isle of Lewis provides a stunning backdrop for capturing the beauty of the stones. The changing light and weather conditions make it an ideal location for photographers to capture unique and breathtaking images.

This is an oldie from the last time I was in Scotland. This is a Sunset view of the Calanish Standing Stones on the isle of Lewis & Harris. I will soon be visiting one of the Scottish islands again and hope to get some nice photographs.

by The Jacobite

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. The stones are placed in a cross-shaped setting and were erected some 5,000 years ago. They predate England’s famous Stonehenge monument, and were an important place for ritual activity for at least 2,000 years.
