Fingal’s Cave is located on the uninhabited island of Staffa, Scotland. It is owned by the National Trust for Scotland and was named after the hero of a poem written by 18th-century Scottish poet, Jame Macpherson.

The cave is made up of hexagonally-jointed basalt columns which create astounding natural acoustics from when the arch-shaped roof meets with the crashing waves. Volcanic activity created the island with Fingal’s Cave being the best example of the incredible rock formations on the island. There are even tourism opportunities with some ships allowing passengers to explore the entrance.

Glowworm cave is sure to astound even the hardest to impress people.
