The Callanish Stones are an extraordinary arrangement of standing stones located on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Dating back to around 2900 BC, the site consists of a central stone circle surrounded by rows of stones forming a cross shape. The purpose of the stones remains a subject of speculation, but they are believed to have been used for astronomical observations and possibly as a location for rituals or ceremonies.
