  • Carloway Broch at Carloway on the Isle of Lewis is believed to date from 100 to 300 BC.  Though massive it is not thought to be a fortification as such, but a impressive dwelling for a small community.Dun Carloway (in Scottish Gaelic Dùn Chàrlabhaigh) is a broch situated in the district of Carloway, on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis, Scotland. It is a remarkably well preserved broch - on the east side parts of the old wall still reaches to 9 metres tall. In places there are also more modern repairs to the east wall. At the base the broch is around 14 to 15 metres in diameter and the walls around 3 metres thick.<br />
Dun Carloway was probably built some time in the 1st century BC, and radiocarbon dating evidence from remains found in the broch show that it was last occupied around 1300 AD.

  • The Callanish Stones (or "Callanish I"), Clachan Chalanais or Tursachan Chalanais in Gaelic, are situated near the village of Callanish (Gaelic: Calanais) on the west coast of the isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides (Western Isles), Scotland ( 58°11?51?N, 06°44?41?W).<br />
Construction of the site took place between 2900 and 2600 BC, though there were possibly earlier buildings before 3000 BC. A tomb was later built into the site. Debris from the destruction of the tomb suggests the site was out of use between 2000 BC and 1700 BC.[1] The 13 primary stones form a circle about 13 m in diameter, with a long approach avenue of stones to the north, and shorter stone rows to the east, south, and west (possibly incomplete avenues). The overall layout of the monument recalls a distorted Celtic cross. The individual stones vary from around 1 m to 5 m in height, with an average of 4 m, and are of the local Lewisian gneiss.  <br />

  • Views of the Rackwick Valley on the west coast of Hoy.  This valley was one of the first to be settled by Norse incomers (Vikings) and was for centuries a properous community in an idyllic setting.  Now it is largely abandoned but has lost none of its scenic appeal.  Only one crofter still farms here but others have come to convert old croft houses into summer cottages, including the composer Sir Peter Maxwell Davies.  These views look over some of the ruined croft houses and other views look down on a small seaside cottage with the cliffs and beach beyond.g
