Fingal's Cave



Photos from NK Photograpy

Felix Mendelssohn was inspired to write his "Hebrides Overture" by a visit to Fingal's Cave of the coast of Staffa in the Inner Hebrides Islands of Scotland. Here's a little background on Mendelssohn's visit to the Hebrides Island, a trip that inspired his overture of the same name.




This is a short video of the interior of Fingal's Cave. It's a bit blurry but worth it because you get a bit of a feel for what it would be like.
