Fingals Cave is located on
the uninhabited rock island of Staffa, off the West coast of Scotland. This
fascinating cave is formed from hexagon shaped basalt columns. The basalt
formed into hexagonal columns when a lava flow cooled in the ocean. The lava
flow that created Fingal Cave also created the amazing Giant Causeway rock
formation in Scotland. In Gaelic, Fingal Cave is known as Uamh-Binn, meaning
cave of melody, due to the lovely sounds made by echos of waves crashing
inside.
