Informations supplémentaires

The Isle of Staffa is an important National Nature Reserve under the auspices of the National Trust for Scotland, and is the nesting ground for many varieties of sea birds including puffins. The striking sheer cliffs are formed from cooled volcanic lava and consist of tall hexagonal columns inset with deep caves. The largest cave known as Fingals Cave was the inspiration for Mendelssohns Hebrides Overture, (more commonly known as Fingals Cave Overture), which evokes the sound of the waves rising and falling against the colonnades as they enter the cave. The island can be reached by boat or yacht with daily cruises organised from the Isle of Mull or Oban, with the opportunity to spot dolphins seals and whales en route. If the seas are calm it is possible to land and explore the island and to walk into Fingals Cave.
