Lewis is flat and lovely. Not much traffic and friendly people. Harris has mountains and the incredible Harris Tweed shops. The standing stones are magnificent. Although there is a huge from the car park to see them, My friend asked and was told of a small lane up to a plateau where I was then able to walk in with my cane.

Small car park, full already this early in the season. The stones are fascinating and the setting open and wild. Interesting that the burial mound , when excavated, had cremated remains inside. The facilities available are good. The staff enthusiastic about the mysteries of the site. The ladies in the temporary mobile café were very cheerful and friendly. My only bugbear were the number of dogs on the site. This site was a grave for some and likely a religious site for others. A little respect should be shown. Recommended visit.

This is a tough one. The Callanish (or Calanais) Standing Stones are a remarkably intact stone circle, complete with avenues, part of a larger complex across the nearby terrain. So that's very cool. But it is a relatively small site, acreage-wise, and, when we were visiting, very crowded, making photography, or even just experiencing the stones, a bit more difficult. There is a nice gift shop and cafe down the hill, complete with WCs, so that's nice. Worth visiting, but apparently a lot of people also think so.

Really cool to see this ancient site, and even cooler if you're an Outlander fan! It's definitely a long trek to get there if you take the ferry over from Ullapool and then drive to the see the stones, but I felt it was worth it. We went later in the afternoon, it wasn't very crowded so we were able to get pictures without anyone in them. I didn't realize there are two other smaller sets of stones on the hillsides nearby, so we visited all three stone circles, which was also fun, and we had those smaller circles entirely to ourselves.

It is actually free to enter this site and we spent around half an hour to explore the stones. The standing stones are laid out in a cruciform pattern and is different from the usual ring patterns. There is also a small barrow in the middle. The stones are made of the local, banded Lewisian gneiss which lends a decorative aspect to the stones some of which exceed two meters in height. Well worth a visit.

This place is even more glorious than I dreamed of. Fewer people and able to walk among these huge stones. You can feel the energy of the earth and the connection to nature. Been on my bucket list for almost 40 years - I'm so grateful for the chance to experience it

Stunning standing stones, so big and so many. Very windy on the hill but a very quiet place. You feel like being quiet out of respect for the site. Went with my brother and the b n b owner. A very good host and very knowledgeable about local places. Graham also took us to the Black House village where we saw a weaving demonstration and talk. Then we walked around and into several buildings with low doorways and one house that had a man in there with a peat fire burning and he was happy to chat and share his knowledge of the area and history. A very well worth trip. Thanks Graham, Leo and I loved all of it.

My first impression was about a mini Stonehenge. A few theories here about who why and when has built this - all interesting. Some say this is a sun clock, others cemetery. Be careful with the parking as the visitor centre is in construction and a heavy machines around and less space. It is nice for a quick stop, takes no more than 15-20min. Portable toilets. It’s windy, so dress well.

Wheelchair users CAN get to the stones! I am not saying it is easy, but it is worth it. Do NOT go to the Visitors Center! That way up is rough, steep, busy- just don't do it. Instead put "Callanash Blackhouse Tearoom" on your GPS. You will see the stones quite close from there, parking the parking lot and roll. You might need help over a few spots but there are always plenty of people to help you, you will probably be asked many times. Also note that while there are about 10 other sites, they are fairly inaccessible, some can be seen from the road, but not much.
