Standing stones, or megaliths, are steeped in folklore, often depicted as petrified people, giants, or dancers punished for breaking the Sabbath. Common legends include "countless stones" that cannot be counted accurately, the devil causing transformations, and sites serving as fairy portals or, like Callanish, as petrified giants.
These stones often sit at the intersection of myth and archaeology, with many aligned to winter/summer solstices, indicating they served as ancient calendars, which fuels modern spiritual interest.
