The probably 5000 year old place of worship consists of 50 stones, which are placed in a cross around a grave. Their magic unfolds especially in sunshine or at sunrise and sunset.

We were there at sunset today. Incredibly impressive. You can also walk around the stones, unlike, for example, Stonehenge.

Callanish Stones are thought to have been erected in the late Neolithic era, between 2900 & 2600 BCE. They are arranged in a cruciform pattern with a central stone circle. It's an amazing place to visit.
