Fingal's Cave is one of the most extraordinary places created by nature. Although it may seem that these structures are man-made, in fact, the caves were formed during the Paleocene from lava flows.
In Gaelic the cave is called Uamh-Binn, the cave of melody. The sounds of the surf are strangely transformed and echo throughout the cave, making it look like a huge cathedral with an organ playing inside.
