Description
Callanish Stone Circle II is a fascinating prehistoric monument on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. Approximately 5,000 years old, this mysterious stone circle is older than the famous Stonehenge!
The stones, arranged in a distinctive cross pattern with a central circle, probably served as a lunar calendar, precisely marking cycles every 18.61 years. The site exudes a mystical atmosphere, especially when standing among the ancient monoliths overlooking Loch Roag and the surrounding hills.
For lovers of history, archaeology and spirituality, this is a true journey back in time to the Neolithic Age.
