Fingal's Cave - Isle of Staffa, Scotland

The unusual geological formation of Fingal’s Cave has been an inspiration to many, including Queen Victoria, Jules Verne, Matthew Barney and the band Pink Floyd. Many other authors, poets and celebrities have visited this amazing cave. The cave is 270 ft deep and 72 ft in height, with hexagonal columns of basalt, neatly shaped into six-sided pillars, forming a crude walkway allowing visitors to explore inside.
