Yeah , Scotland is a great place for peeps interested in history, especially where stonecircles and standing stones are concerned. The Hebrides are a great place for that. Callanish is definitely one of the most fascinating places, even tho its very touristizised. But its def worth the entrance fee and the info in the visitor centre, not minding the rest of Lewis and the other half of the Long Island ... (Harris ) A very unspoilt circle that gives ye the creeps is on North Uist, Piňbuill Fhingaill (Fingals People), and according to the map there is another one not very far from there. PF is situated on the edge of Bčinn Langass, a good viewpoint across North Uist, even tho its just 140 m high. Standing stones; oh there must be hundreds on the Uists ... (even Skye boasts a few hehe). But back to Bčinn Langas, there is a very interesting chambered cairn there, Langass Barpa. Its accessible but dont forget to bring a pair of trousers ye want to chuck away and a torch , its a matter of hands and knees. And once ye 're in Uist I very much recommend Berneray, Udal Beach with Aird a ' Mhurain (´maybe known to some from the Song Siňl Gorraidh and from the video City of Lights) , and the obligatory visit to Howmore, Flora Mc Donalds Birthplace and Eriskay; amounts high on the scales of desertedness ... well mebbe not now .. But it gave me a shudder, mind ye its a beautiful place , still ...

An ancient stone circle discovered on the Isle of Lewis, close to the standing stones of Callanish. Predates Stonehenge, the BBC article is here, but will probably time out.
