Fingal's Cave is on which Scottish island?

Fingal’s Cave is on the Scottish island of Staffa.

Staffa is an uninhabited island in the Inner Hebrides, about 10 kilometres west of Mull. Fingal’s Cave is a sea cave on its southern side, formed within striking hexagonally jointed basalt columns. The same broad volcanic phenomenon produced the columnar rocks of Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland, making the two sites geological relatives as well as parts of a shared legend.

The cave became widely known in the English-speaking world after naturalist Sir Joseph Banks visited Staffa in 1772. Its name comes from Fingal, a heroic figure associated with James Macpherson’s 18th-century Ossian poems; the cave’s Gaelic name is An Uamh Bhin, meaning “the melodious cave.”

Its natural acoustics helped make it famous. Composer Felix Mendelssohn visited in 1829 and was inspired to write The Hebrides, Op. 26, often called the Fingal’s Cave Overture. Mull is the nearby larger island, but Fingal’s Cave itself is on Staffa.
