They predate England’s famous Stonehenge monument, and were an important place for ritual activity for at least 2,000 years. We don’t know why the standing stones at Calanais were erected, but our best guess is that it was a kind of astronomical observatory. 3000BC iain Site 109 10/10/2024 11/25/2025 03:08:33 pm current,58.197557,-6.745146; 206 Cultural Heritage Grid reference NB 213 330 Historic Environment Scotland Threatening regional planning policies Loss of cultural spaces Scotland Calanais Standing Circle 1 https://www.historicenvironment.scot/visit-a-place/places/calanais-standing-stones/ TEXT
