The Lewis Chessmen are a set of ancient Viking chess pieces carved from walrus tusk ivory and whale teeth. Discovered in a stone tomb on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland, these intricately detailed statues depict warriors, kings, queens, bishops, and horsemen.

You can spot giant wooden structures across this part of Lewis.
