About

The Callanish Stones appear in many of the stories in Peter May’s Thrillers. 

“At Garynahine he turned left on to the road that would take him all the way up the west coast to Ness. A long drive with time to think. Past the standing stones at Callanish, the tweed mill at Shawbost, the abandoned church at Barvas, transformed now into a stylish home. And all the tiny settlements with their mini-marts and filling stations, potteries and art galleries established by incomers.”

Extract from The Black Loch by Peter May.

You can visit the stones and walk in amongst them. There is also a visitor centre, which is closed until 2026 due to refurbishment and currently there is limited parking.
