Exciting news for Calanais! After nearly three decades of welcoming visitors, the Calanais Visitor Centre is undergoing a transformative redevelopment. This ambitious project, led by Urras nan Tursachan (the Standing Stones Trust), will create a state-of-the-art centre, serving both the local community and visitors from around the world.
