Fingal's Cave, on the Island of Staffa, in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland, 1805
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique print titled 'Het Fingalshol op het Eiland Staffa'.
View of Fingal’s Cave, a natural wonder off the coast of Scotland in the Hebrides, renowned for its striking rock formations of faceted vertical pillars of basalt. This print originates from 'Nuttig en aangenaam mengelwerk, van verschillende onderwerpen (..)' by August Friedrich Ferdinand von Kotzebue.
Fingal's Cave is a sea cave on the uninhabited island of Staffa, in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland, known for its natural acoustics. The National Trust for Scotland owns the cave as part of a national nature reserve. It became known as Fingal's Cave after the eponymous hero of an epic poem by 18th-century Scots poet-historian James Macpherson.
