Description
Callanish 8 - Stone Circle is a unique megalithic monument on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. This unusual semi-circle of four large stones is situated on the edge of a cliff overlooking the strait leading to Lewis, making it unique in the region.
The tallest stone reaches almost three meters in height, and the diameter of the semicircle is about 20 meters. The site impresses not only for its historical value, but also for its spectacular location and the opportunity to observe the double shadow cast by the sun and its reflection in the water at certain times of the day.
Callanish 8 is part of a larger complex of megalithic monuments on the Isle of Lewis, ideal for lovers of ancient history and archaeology.
