Outer Hebrides (or Western Islands) -

​The Outer Hebrides, also known as the Western Isles, is an island chain off the west coast of mainland Scotland. The islands form an archipelago whose major islands are Lewis and Harris, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist, and Barra. Lewis and Harris has an area of 217,898 hectares (841 sq mi) and is the largest island in Scotland and the third largest in the British Isles, after Great Britain and Ireland.
Like Stonehenge, the Callanish Stones were erected in the late Neolithic era, and were still used for ritual activity during the Bronze Age. They are an arrangement of standing stones placed in a cruciform pattern with a central stone circle.
Harris and Lewis is the main island and its capital is Stornoway where there is an airport.
