Outer Hebrides 4 - Callanish Standing Stones

Everyone visits the famous standing stones at Callanish on the west coast. These stones date back over 5,000 years and no one is really sure what they represent. They seem to be an ancient burial chamber but the moon also plays a part in their construction. The next port of call was just down the coast to Uig Sands.

The bay of Uig is vast and covered in light coloured sands and surrounded by sand dunes. It is well worth a visit but don't forget your beach equipment.
