About
The Calanais Visitor Centre is currently undergoing an exciting and major transformation, we look forward to welcoming you back to our new and improved facilities in 2026. Please note while construction works are underway, the stones are still open. However, we are unable to provide any facilities and there is very limited parking for cars on the shore road, and no parking for coaches.
Urras nan Tursachan (the Standing Stones Trust) set up the Calanais Visitor Centre, and it was first opened to the public 30 June 1995. We look forward to providing much improved services in the future as we redevelop the centre for visitors and our local community. Thank you for your patience while the redevelopment is in progress. We will be posting updates on the redevelopment on our website www.calanais.org and on facebook www.facebook.com/CalanaisStandingStones.
