Classic stones respect moment.
markj99 visited on 3rd Jul 2011 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 5 Access: 3 For some unknown reason I prefer the simplicity of a small stone circle round a cairn to the complex arrangement of stones at Callanish I. Additionally, there is a greater satisfaction in a solitary visit to Callanish IV.

Access: To reach site 4, take the B8011 from Garynahine towards Dig and Great Bernera. About one mile along this road, the tops of the stones become visible on the rising ground to the right. A short walk from the road, which involves climbing over a barbed-wire -fence, brings one to the site.
