Fingal’s Cave, Scotland
Fingal’s Cave is located on the Island of Staffa, Scotland. When viewed from the sea, the cave opening can be seen supported by mountains of hexagonal basalt columns — a formation caused by lava flow many thousands of years ago. The astounding rock formations that make up the cave walls have also created one of the most naturally superb acoustic sounding chambers in the world. The echo of the waves crashing against the mouth of the cave are naturally amplified, and create an eerie melody that has inspired many musicians and artists over the years.
