Ancient standing stones with mystery

Message from Tartan Viking

The Calanais Standing Stones are a cool ancient site on the Isle of Lewis that's been around for 5,000 years – way before Stonehenge! Nobody really knows why they were put there, but some think they might have been used to track the moon's movements. The stones are arranged in a cross shape and are perfect for a mystical stroll or pondering the mysteries of the universe. Plus, they even made an appearance in a 'Call the Midwife' Christmas special! So, if you're into history, astronomy, or just fancy a scenic wander, these standing stones are definitely worth checking out.
