In Fingal's Cave, Staffa, Scotland, 1829. The best known of the caves on the southwest coast of Staffa, Scottish Inner Hebrides, Fingal's Cave 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. From A Voyage Around Great Britain Undertaken between the Years 1814 and 1825 by William Daniell, 1829.
