Albatrossity in Scotland
From Uist we next headed north on the quaint one-track roads, deciphering street signs written in Gaelic, and took the ferry from Berneray to Leverburgh on the Isle of Harris. Our destination was the Galson Farm Guesthouse on the Isle of Lewis, but we made a couple of stops along the way.
The first stop was the Callanish (aka Calanais) stone circle. This group of standing stones predates Stonehenge, and is thought to be both a ceremonial site and astronomical observatory. The latter activity might be a bit frustrating in these parts, since an unobstructed view of the sky is pretty unusual.
Unlike Stonehenge, you can wander in and out of the stone circle, up close and personal, so to speak. Here is a wide view of the monoliths, from the southwest side.
