Exciting news for Calanais! After nearly three decades of welcoming visitors, the Calanais Visitor Centre is undergoing a transformative redevelopment. This ambitious project, led by Urras nan Tursachan (the Standing Stones Trust), will create a state-of-the-art centre, serving both the local community and visitors from around the world.

This ambitious redevelopment will transform the centre into a first-class visitor experience. Plans include expanding the centre to include a new cafe, shop, major new exhibition, versatile function space and improved parking and access.
