Callanais Standing Stones
The Calanais Standing Stones are an extraordinary cross-shaped setting of stones erected 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.
Why the standing stones at Calanais were erected is unknown but the best guess is that it was a kind of astronomical observatory.
