Fingal's Cave in Staffa, Scotland This incredible sea cave is located on the uninhabited island of Staffa in Scotland. The island is of volcanic origin and is famous for its distinctive hexagonal basalt columns, of which Fingal's Cave is the most striking example. The cave's size, shape, and naturally-arched roof combine with the waves to create eerie sounds that enhance its cathedral-like atmosphere. The cave was named after the hero in James Macpherson's book Fingal, which means "white stranger." Fun Fact Felix Mendelssohn was so profoundly affected by his visit to Fingal's Cave that he wrote a concert overture inspired by it! #info #EverythingsInfo
