Calanish Stones, Isle of Lewis, Scotland.
Callanish Standing Stones
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.

The beautiful columns of the Callanish Standing stones on the island of Lewis & Harris in the Outer Hebrides. This was taken on a summer evening just before I was eaten alive by the midges and had to race out of there.

Butt of Lewis Lighthouse
by The Jacobite

Butt of Lewis Lighthouse, designed by David Stevenson, was built at Butt of Lewis to aid shipping in the 1860s. Unusual for a lighthouse in Scotland, it is constructed of red brick, and is unpainted. The station was automated in 1998, one of the last to have been converted.
