Don't leave The Isle of Lewis without seeing this sight at least twice. It is best seen without the crowds or bus tours so the early morning or late evening is the best time, the mystery of the sight can easily be ruined with a the business.A very beautiful sight and don't forget callanish 2 and 3 a short walk...

These stones are beautiful and atmospheric but when we wanted to visit them to see the sunset it was spoilt by "photographers" set up wanting to get their " perfect shot".

Maybe because it was a bright sunny day, but I was disappointed by the stones - they seemed smaller and less "atmospheric" than they do in photos.

The stones themself are already good to watch but I find the display and explenation about the stones very good
