Fingal's Cave, Island of Staffa, Scotland, 19th century. The best known of the caves on the southwest coast of Staffa, Scottish Inner Hebrides, was the inspiration for Felix Mendelssohn's overture 'The Hebrides.' The cave was formed by basalt lava flows which cooled to form hexagonal columns similar to those of the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland.
