More about Staffa

The island's geological formation is due to ancient volcanic activity, creating hexagonal basalt columns similar to those at the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. Fingal's Cave, measuring about 22 meters in height and 75 meters in length, is accessible by boat, weather permitting. There are no facilities on the island, and visitors must be prepared for rugged terrain.
