Callanish Standing Stones

Had a beautiful journey today right up through Harris and Lewis - as far as Stornoway. Then came back down and took in some of the important heritage!





These are some of the Callanish Standing Stones



They are known as the Stone Henge of Scotland

The main stones are in the shape of a cross from the air

Quite an eerie place...
Breathtaking though




The Red River Distillery at Carnish is the only distillery on the island. It is about to launch its first batch of single malt in 160 years.

As we arrived back in South Harris, Henry spotted some feral cats and got some great pics - here is the little family (well, three of four of them anyway)

We ate at Rodel Hotel, a very nice meal indeed
