The Calanais Standing Stones are among the best preserved prehistoric sites in the country. These stones were erected around 3,000 years before our era, in the shape of a cross around a circle of 13 monoliths. In the centre stands a 4.8m menhir, next to which a tomb was added generations later. Although we do not really know what happened here, some archaeologists have put forward the hypothesis of an astronomical observatory. The Callanish visitor centre aims to interpret the history of the site through its small retrospective exhibition.

le cercle de pierres "habituel"
eh bien, peut-être que j'en ai vu beaucoup maintenant et que je m'y suis habitué. Faites la promenade recommandée dans tous les livres sur l'île de Lewis, qui passe également par deux autres cercles de pierres à proximité. Même sous la pluie, vous vous sentirez vivant.
