The cave was so inspiring that it soon became a must see location, with Queen Victoria herself making the pilgrimage to view the columns, as did William Wordsworth, John Keats, Lord Tennyson.
Hidden on an uninhabited Scottish isle lies Fingal's Cave, a natural wonder that has not only inspired a Pink Floyd track but also captivated Queen Victoria.
Mythology tells of the cave being part of a bridge connecting it to the Giant's Causeway, constructed by the giant Fionn mac Cumhaill to reach Scotland for a battle with his adversary Benandonner. Staffa, renowned for its stunning natural rock formations, is also a haven for puffins that can be seen perched on the cliff sides. For those with a sense of adventure, a wild swim inside the cave is an option.
