The ancient stone circle at Callanish on the Isle of Lewis in The Outer Hebrides is over 4,000 years old and one of the oldest such structures in the world. Though smaller than Stonehenge it is considerably older and is awe-inspiring to visit. Normally seen in sunshine, here we have a photograph taken beneath an umbrella as a storm passsed overhead giving this magical place an altogether unworldly quality.

Bordley Circle, or Druid’s Altar as it is known locally is probably a ‘Four Poster’ type of stone circle and dates to the Bronze Age. It consists of a circular bank 15 metres in diameter, 2.7 metres wide and about a metre high. The bank was originally set with upright stones of which only three survive. The structure has also been interpreted as a small chambered tomb in a round cairn with a crescentic façade. / Source: / Feather, S W & Manby, T G (1970) ‘Prehistoric Chambered Tombs of the Pennines’ Yorkshire Archaeological Journal.
