Calanais Standing Stones and Visitor Centre	Calanis, Isle of Lewis	Standing Stones
Calanais comprises a late Neolithic stone ring and associated lines of standing stones. Situated on a prominent ridge, it is visible from miles around. Excavations have revealed that the ring was set up between 2900 and 2600 BC, making it earlier than the main circle at Stonehenge. It has a unique arrangement, with lines of stones radiating in four directions from the ring. It is not fully clear whether the stone alignments were constructed at the same time as the ring, or later. The layout of the site, along with many others across the British Isles, appears to have an association with astronomical events, the precise nature of which cannot be determined.

Kisimul Castle	Castlebay, Isle of Barra	Castle
Kisimul Castle (Caisteal Chiosmuil, ‘castle of the rock of the small bay’) is testament to the nature of Gaelic lordship in the Middle Ages. The island fastness in Castle Bay was the residence of the chief of the Macneils of Barra, who claimed descent from the legendary Niall of the Nine Hostages. Tradition tells of the Macneils settling in Barra in the 11th century, but it was only in 1427 that Gilleonan Macneil comes on record as the first lord. He probably built the castle that dominates the rocky islet, and in its shadow a crew house for his personal galley and crew. The sea coursed through Macneil veins, and a descendant, Ruari ‘the Turbulent’, was arrested for piracy of an English ship during King James VI’s reign in the later 16th century.

St Kilda	St Kilda	Island
Lying 41 miles we the st of North Uist, St Kilda is home to the largest colony of seabirds in northern Europe, including a quarter of the world’s population of northern gannets. The majestic scenery above water is mirrored by cliffs, caves and reefs plunging into the far depths of the ocean. All teem with carpets of anemones, sponges and other life. St Kilda is no less famous for its human history. A fragile community clung on for at least 4,000 years in this most remote of places. The Soay sheep has been preserved on the island almost unchanged in 4,000 years and is one of the most primitive breeds in the world. The village on the main island of Hirta was laid out in the 1830s and consists of a crescent of houses with cultivated plots. These were typical Hebridean single-roomed blackhouses, which the occupants shared with their cattle in winter. From the mid-19th century the St Kildans began to lose their self-sufficiency. Finally, on 29 August 1930, the remaining 36 islanders were evacuated to the mainland.
