Callanish Standing Stones (Isle of Lewis)

The Callanish Standing Stones (The Galic name is Calanais) are situated on the on the Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides. This is a magical place that I find truly inspirational.      Dating back over 4000 years and pre-dating The Pyramids, the Callanish stones rank second in terms of importance only to Stonehenge and are older.   These silvery stones are made of Lewisian gneiss and stand on a small hill called 'Cnoc an Tursa' - 'Hill of Sorrow'.
