About this spot
The Callanish Stones (or "Callanish 1", Clachan Chalanais or Tursachan Chalanais in Scottish Gaelic) is an arrangement of standing stones placed in a cruciform pattern with a central stone circle. They were erected in the late Neolithic era, and were a focus for ritual activity during the Bronze Age. They are near the village of Callanish (Gaelic: Calanais) on the west coast of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland.
