1. Put Your Hand on the Center Stone of the Standing Stones of Callanish
You probably know of Stonehenge, made famous when Chevy Chase backed his car into one of the Neolithic stones.
One of the oldest stone circles – many say centuries older than Stonehenge – is the Standing Stones of Callanish, found on a windswept plain on the west coast of Lewis, an island on the Outer Hebrides. There’s not much here for miles, and the historians have more questions than answers about this stone, but one thing is certain: you’ll understand why people have been coming here for centuries by placing one hand on the center stone.
2. Visit the Moon… I mean, the Island of Staffa
If there were a place almost like the moon in Scotland, it would be the island of Staffa. Getting here is no feat and isn’t possible on inclement weather days – you’ve got to get to Oban, Mull, or Iona and then grab an onward smaller boat to the island’s dock – which is simply a spot where boats can pull in and you can jump off.
The island is made up of hexagonal basalt, a stone that looks like some sort of human giant built the island. Shown above is Fingal’s Cave, a spot that looks – and sounds – like something out of an Alfred Hitchcock film.
From the grassy hills of the Borders to the desolate Cuillin Ridge of Skye, the landscape of Scotland is breathtaking in its variety. Lonely glens, sparkling lochs and ever changing skies give the land a challenging character which is reflected in the qualities of the Scottish people. Tough and self reliant, they have made some of Britain’s finest soldiers, its boldest explorers and most astute industrialists.
