Bridge To The Past

The most famous standing stones on the Isle of Lewis are at Callanish but there are dozens of other standing stones scattered over the island such as this one on the island of Great Bernera.

Great Bernera is part of the Isle of Lewis but a separate island off the west coast connected by this bridge which was built in 1953 and was, apparently, the first pre-stressed concrete bridge to be built in Europe. Perhaps this standing stone was the first to be erected on Great Bernera, only some three or thousand year earlier?
