Description
The Royal Visit to Fingal's Cave, Staffa, Scotland, 1847, (1900). Queen Victoria and Prince Albert visited the sea-cave on the uninhabited island of Staffa, in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. The best known of the caves on the southwest coast of Staffa, it 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.
