Some stones look like people walking in circle. One even reminds me of dwarfs from "Hobbits" and "Lord Of The Rings" series. It makes you wonder what kind of religious rites and traditions took place at these 'Stonehenge' type of sites.

Some Info:

The Callanish Stones (or "Callanish I", Clachan Chalanais or Tursachan Chalanais in Scottish Gaelic) are an arrangement of standing stones placed in a cruciform pattern with a central stone circle. They were erected in the late Neolithic era, and were a focus for ritual activity during the Bronze Age. They are near the village of Callanish (Gaelic: Calanais) on the west coast of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland.
