Cave
Staffa is most famous
for it's sea cave. Formed with the hexagonal rock (similar to the Giant's
Causeway in Northern Ireland), the cave stretches 250 feet in to the rock
and its roof is 70 feet above the sea. It was immortalised in music by
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy in his overture "The Hebrides" and
painted by Turner in 1832.
