Staffa Tours - Our trips to Staffa are starting in a few...

Fingal’s cave is one of Staffa’s most astonishing features and has been billed as one of the world’s most spectacular caves. Formed by a Paleocene lava flow and sculpted from hexagonally jointed basalt pillars, this remarkable cave appears as though hand crafted, due to the unique structure of the rock column layers. The basaltic pillars reach high and deep and are met by the sea surrounding the Island, resembling a sort of fictional fantasy – a ‘must see’ for all budding geologists! 🎥 @vergiin
