The Outer Hebrides, an archipelago off the west coast of Scotland, has a rich history dating back to ancient times. The islands were settled early in the population of Britain, possibly as early as 8500-8250 BC, when the climate improved sufficiently to sustain human habitation. This suggests that the Outer Hebrides have been inhabited for over 10,000 years.

One remarkable archaeological site that attests to the early civilization of the Outer Hebrides is the Callanish Stones, located on the Isle of Lewis. These stone circles, estimated to be around 5,000 years old, pre-date the more famous Stonehenge in England. The Callanish Stones serve as tangible evidence of an advanced and organized society in the Outer Hebrides during ancient times. The construction of these stone circles reflects the cultural and social development of the people who inhabited the islands millennia ago, showcasing their ability to engage in sophisticated architectural and ceremonial practices.
