July. Summer on the island
muffles in scarves.
Merino-socked, Berghaus-booted,
swap cocoon of car
for hilly slither. Pilgrim-trail
with sodden strangers,
step in time to the cadence of rain…—Nikki Robson, “The Callanish Stones”

Thanks for sharing Nick.
I cycled the Hebridean way in 1988 and came across Callanish standing stones almost by accident. My first big trip from Australia. I wanted to get away from southern England and Wales so took a train to Oban, Fronted up at the Oban Ferry terminal in the morning and decided to catch the ferry to Barra and island hop with my bicycle. Stumbled on Callanish.on Lewis. It was a great week of cycling. Memorable. The midges were pretty fearsome, though. 3 pics from that trip.

The UK basks in warm sunshine. Meanwhile on Lewis and Harris...drizzle and high winds. At least we had these big stones to shelter behind...

And thinking of the individual stones as art gets me thinking about stories (as I do a lot nowadays). We have a time frame of hundreds of years for their erection, so maybe one way to think of each stone as an event in itself, not just part of the whole? What stories might have been told about each one, and might they have been a way of linking generations, providing an aid to memory and storytelling? #calanais #callanish #standingstones

Had a great day at the Calanais standing stones. The cross and circles as a whole are interesting, but the individual stones are fascinating to look at with so many patterns in the Lewissian Gneiss rock that makes them up. Fascinating to think of how they were erected and their status as art - people choosing certain stones for their appearance then consciously displaying them, saying "look at this, it's important". #StoneCircle #stones #calanais #Scotland #IsleOfLewis #callanish

Cycling footage from Lewis & Harris https://youtu.be/dTh5---B4R0
Handelbar footage starting from Leverburgh and then following the spectular eastern route via Rodel and Aird Mhige to Tarbert, then that evening following the A859 across the mountains to Kintarvie.
Then to Langabhay, west to reach #Callanish. Then north to Breasclete where I followed the single track bog road (Pentland road) east across to #Stornoway and the ferry to my next stage starting at Ullapool.

The most famous alignment marks the major southern lunar standstill that occurs every 18.6 years, when the moon is seen apparently born from between the thighs of Sleeping Beauty. It skims the horizon and vanishes. Only to reappear to shine dramatically into the circle. The hills of the #Cailleach na Mointeach or Sleeping Beauty near #Calanais resemble a pregnant woman, this is best seen from The Achmore circle. Sketch and photo from Bruce Adams’ album #StandingStoneSunday #Callanish

A VIRTUAL TOUR OF SCOTLAND
We travel north from Harris to Lewis, then west to Loch Roag, on the Atlantic coast. This area is home to over 20 ancient monuments including Calanais I, a complex arrangement of some 50 stones. At their heart is a circle of 13 stones between 8 and 13 feet tall. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/lewis/calanais/index.html

#HappyNewYear! I only arrived here on Mastodon in Nov, part of the great #twittermigration. In that short time, I have connected with so many decent, interesting, bright & lovely people. Thx! 🙏
My husb & I met nearly 20yrs ago thru an interest in #Neolithic #AncientMonuments & #JulianCope's #TheModernAntiquarian, so for #StandingStoneSunday I'd like to share a #painting I made of the avenue at #Callanish.
(If you #FollowMe, I'll #followback, even if it's not #FollowBackFriday!)
