The Royal Visit to Fingals Cave, Staffa, Scotland, 1847, (1900). Artist: William Barnes Wollen
The Royal Visit to Fingals 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 Mendelssohns overture The Hebrides. The cave was formed by basalt lava flows which cooled to form hexagonal columns similar to those of the Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland. Illustration from The Life and Times of Queen Victoria, by Robert Wilson, (1900)
