Nothing on Lewis? eh? Well I suppose there are not many tourist shops but that's a good isn't it??
I wish I'd had more time to spend on the beaches and wildness - I want to see Harris close-up.

You might mean there's not much megalithic about Lewis - well I suppose it's less in-your-face...
After speaking to Margaret I got the feeling there was nothing BUT megalithness about the place.

I meant there are no shops & pubs etc . . things to bear in mind when planning a 'holiday'.
As for megalithicness . . if you stand at Callanish, you can see the three other circles.. so, uncluding the main site, you can see (on a clear day) FOUR stone circles.
I wonder if there is anywhere else where you can feasably see four seperate stone circles at once without visual aid? Not even Cork I think;-)
