Callanish VIII, Megalith in Outer Hebrides, Scotland.
Callanish VIII features seven thin standing stones positioned on a ridge near Loch Roag, approximately 90 meters from the water's edge.
Archaeological excavations at the site uncovered wood charcoal evidence and possible remains of an earlier timber circle dating back to 3000 BCE.
The structure holds both English and Gaelic names, with the local population referring to it as Tursachan throughout generations of Scottish heritage.
The megalith remains accessible through local paths, with coordinates at 58°12'20.9"N latitude and 6°49'46.9"W longitude for precise navigation.
Each stone in the formation maintains different heights, creating a distinct visual arrangement against the Scottish coastal landscape.
