We touched them! 👋🏼 Callanish Standing Stones | Isle Of Lewis, Scotland | Rabbies

The Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland are older than the pyramids and you can touch them! Doune Broch is also on the agenda with our Rabbies tour today.. ⬇ More Below ⬇
We've spent the past 3 days exploring Lewis and Harris, a ridiculously beautiful area of Scotland, on a tour with Rabbies. Today's main attractions are the Callanish Standing Stones and Doune Broch.
The Callanish Stones are legit older than the pyramids, older than Stonehenge and you can just walk right up and touch them when you visit Scotland! The Callanish Circle is one of the more popular tourist attractions on the Isle of Lewis yet there was still very few people there. Both Lewis and Harris continue to impress us.
Our first stop was Doune Broch, considered part of the wider Callanish attractions it was an amainzing first stop on our last day with Rabbies - the views were amazing as we've come to expect from both Lewis and Harris either way.
This is the tour around Lewis and Harris we took, there's plenty of other Rabies Tours also - geni.us/MqcQtT
We took a tour in England with Rabbies last year also and loved it - watch last years series here - bit.ly/2JBL2Nx

[@binnus_boppus]

the peaceful sundays may have started as religious but many people who are not religious appreciate them too, its nice to have a day of rest to recoup for the coming week, and things are slacking, we dont chain up swings, just ask people to be respectful and quiet using them, the arts centre has also started once a month sunday openings. its mainly older people who follow the reliogious aspects but as such a close community we respect their choices.

[@seonaidh3198]

My grandmother's from the Butt of Lewis, lol, so I might know why that's a semi-naked sheep standing on the broch. The crofters leave that patch with the colorful markings on it alone because it's their way of identifying who the sheep belong to. Each crofter has their own unique marking, which is handy since the sheep pretty much roam where they want to. Or I might be wrong, and we just do things differently in the Butt of Lewis lol. Anyways, your vids on Lewis & Harris are fantastic! So glad to come across your channel. Tìoraidh!

Callanish is a Magic Place and what is amazing is the alignment of all these standing stones on the Isles. My Favourite place was Avebury Circle followed by Callanish, i think because it was like a tue adventure to get there.

[@divinej3733]

the Stones are definitely used to mark solstice and equinox times like a calendar. Definitely connected to keeping track of times of the year. For hundreds of years ancestors celebrated the darkest night with feasts marking the start of the long winter. I would suppose the people gathered at the spots for celebrations but they were really in tune with the earth. cosmos and seasons. Wondering how they know that the tomb was a burial? Relics found? Love your videos and your remarks to how you see things.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Seems like extreme measures to keep track of time, in terms of the scale it surely could have been smaller and easier to. build? Who knows really. Yup I think it was bones and relics found

[@mitchconnerandsometimesjlotoo]

I don't agree, they are ancient but apparently it has something to do with the shape of the land looking like a woman's body at a certain time. Its not the same as Giza or Stone Henge. We were told on our school trip as kids it pre dates Giza although the official age of that is debatable. Woops I got carried away there sorry for the ramble.

I visited these stones in 1996 whilst staying in Stornaway, it is all very mysterious and great scenery. I shall never forget that visit as my friend who was driving had borrowed his bosses brand new BMW and as we were returning from the stones he was speeding around a long corner and we met a sheep was in the middle of the road. He could not stop and we hit the poor sheep which got embedded in the bumper and radiator of the car. The wool was stuck right in and my friend was trying pick it out so his boss did not notice. It later transpired that he had not been given permission to borrow the car and had effectively stolen and written of his bosses brand new beamer. I can imaging his face now when he returned to the car park to find half a sheep’s derrière embedded into the radiator. Yep that was what happened when I visited those stones!

Apparently all the stone circles started in the North (Highlands and Islands) and were copied in a southward direction. So stone henge despite being the most famous is perhaps the most recent.

Sunday's are a throw back to what Sunday's use to be, it's an experience in it's self but keep an eye out for the enthusiastic fella who walks about in Stornoway with a "god hates divorce" slogan T-shirt on! Pubs, hotels and the Chinese takeaway are open on Sundays so don't worry to much

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Can't say we spotted the guy in the t shirt but definitely noticed the pubs and food joints still in operation, phew!

As someone who lives on the Isle of Lewis - just a few facts that I want to straighten out :) Not everything is shut on Sundays - pubs are open, restaurants as well, and one petrol station in Stornoway with a little shop attached. Playparks are not shut/swings are not chained anymore on Sundays either - although that used to be the case. You can hang your washing out on a Sunday, more people are openly doing it these days, especially in Stornoway. I know that some have some hidden areas where they hang their washing out on a Sunday so the neighbours don't see it. There's plenty of locals about on Sundays :)

[@cityzens634]

Very few locals would hang their washing out on a Sunday if they were seen and the sports centre is still closed on a Sunday plus I’ve seen a lock and chain on a children’s playground recently in Garrabost.

[@Sinmara]

@@cityzens634 indeed, although it's slowly changing. In the village where I live people generally don't hang their washing out on a Sunday, although I've seen a couple of native islanders start hanging it out on Sundays (ooooohh!)

[@stu4932]

with the sheep having half a coat - is it not because they have been marked a certain colour on that patch of wool so the farmers know which farm they belong to?

[@susangrande8142]

I can answer your question about why the sheep had only a partial fleece on: because, like other animals like dogs, and wild animals, they shed their heavy winter fleeces (coats) in the springtime when the weather warms up. Most domestic sheep had this trait bred out by humans, so we could shear them, but a few “primitive” breeds of sheep still shed their fleeces.

I am not an archaeologist but it is my hobby. Try to remember those stones could have be re purposed over thousands of years. It might have started as a burial ground and when that was gone from memory was used for something else. Or maybe the ancestor worship was so strong they had meetings there so they could put in their 2 pence. :/

[@katajha831]

and someone get Dane some of those color glasses.. I am so sad he does not see color. If I had the money I would so gift him some.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Theres a lot of sense to that train of thought actually - started ad s burial ground perhaps and then developed out to other purposes as time passed. Smart thinking! Aww you're too nice, I've never actually tried those glasses before so would be interesting to see how much difference it is for me

Ah Susan you’re far too kind! I really appreciate that, but couldn’t possibly accept. One day we’ll come across them and I’ll try a pair to see how different it really is. Don’t think I’ll be one of those people that see an enormous difference (based on my deficiencies in the tests I’ve taken) but will be curious to see anyway some day.

[@geoffreygardiner9564]

Research on brochs in Shetland (which has the best preserved broch on the island of Mousa. See www.mousa.co.uk/) showed they were food stores, not fortresses. There are no arrow slits so they would not be defensible. Place names are commonly Norse in origin not Gaelic which came, it seems likely, with Irish invaders around 500 AD. 'Stornoway', for instance, means in Norse 'Big new island'.

[@climer588]

Since the stones pre date churches, maybe the people needed something to do on Sunday so they put up stones.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

True true - interesting project to take on though!

[@judyhayward431]

What about the sheep why didn’t they have a full coat of wool?

[@karinandhenward]

They would most likely be self-shearing sheep! They loose their wool without being sheared!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Self shearing seems to be the answer, but we're not 100% sadly! Some mysteries are never solved 🤣

[@dawnlarsen3174]

They are a breed of hair sheep, and shed their hair instead of growing wool that has to be shorn.

[@gavinparks5386]

Sometimes as a result of stress- say a difficult lambing , or some kind of illness , the ewe will shed or part shed her fleece , naturally. You can't easily shear a sheep until there is a " rise " on them . This is when in response to better diet , and a gain in body condition after lambing and milking ( summer grass ) the wool grows quickly and there is almost a natural thinning of the fibre , which was easier to push the hand shears through. Probably less relevant with electric shearing though.

[@susangrande8142]

@@dawnlarsen3174 I thought they were Scottish Blackface, not a hair sheep breed.
