Discover one of Scotland’s most iconic archaeological sites - a place steeped in over 5,000 years of history, mystery, and ancient tradition. The Calanais Standing Stones are a globally recognised Neolithic monument, their dramatic gneiss pillars serving as a direct link to the skill and culture of our ancestors. Visitors can explore for themselves the ancient mystery that has captivated people for millennia and continues to inspire awe today.
From July, when the new centre reopens its doors, visitors can also look forward to discovering more about the stones and what the Hebrides has to offer. As well as an engaging exhibition, and a welcoming café, visitors will find a hand-picked collection of crafts and products from talented local makers in our new shop. The team is busy sourcing the best of the Hebrides for a space that celebrates island creativity. Find out more and plan your visit on our new website at www.calanais.org.
Outer Hebrides Tourism Member 2020* We can’t wait to welcome you back this July! We’ll announce our exact opening date very soon as we put the finishing touches on the centre and get our team ready.
