Fingal's Cave is a sea cave on the island of Staffa in the Inner Hebrides. It is formed from hexagonally-jointed basalt columns similar to the Giant's Causeway in Ireland. The Giant's Causeway and Fingal's Cave were both formed by the same lava flow 60 million years ago. In Gaelic mythology Fionn mac Cumhaill, a giant, constructed a causeway from Ireland to Scotland out basalt colums. Fionn built it to allow a Scottish giant, Benandonner, come and fight him. After deceiving Benandonner and bighting off his finger of power Fionn chased him back to Scotland but Benandonner ran so hard the causewasy collapsed behind him. Fionn took a sod of earth, forming Lough Neagh, and threw it after Benandonner but it fell in the Irish sea to form the Isle of Man.

It's part of the ancient causeway that went all the way to Northern Ireland. Volcanic lava formation my ass. Do you think I came up the coast in a banana boat? It's the Giants Causeway.

@MaureenMaynes 10 лет назад

As stated these columns also occur at the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. There was much speculation in ancient times as to what their purpose was - stepping stones for Giants etc - but the reality of how they were formed, millions of years ago by a huge volcanic eruption, is much more interesting than the myths and legends which surround them. They are well worth a visit. If you are interested in golf and plan to come to Portrush to see the open in 2019; you will only be a stone's throw from the Causeway - it is well worth a visit:)

The Giant's Causeway can be found on the south west coast of Mull, it stretches from Ireland to Scotland or vice versa.

I was hoping to hear what the waves sound like on the inside - too bad

@AffordBindEquipment 10 лет назад

Um, I thought this was about a cave, you know, like INSIDE the cave, not romancing about the outside....so what does the inside look like? One can look at the outside all day but that only goes so far....

@nancycox5318 4 года назад

Fantastic. I wanna go there

@OseiBayard 12 лет назад

But I wanted to hear the music the cave makes with the waves :c Otherwise it was a very good informational video

Fingal's Cave Fingal's Cave is a sea cave on the uninhabited island of Staffa, in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland, part of a National Nature Reserve owned by the National Trust for Scotland.

I used to be in the plant camp but am now a firm believer that this like other places are dead Giants.. Hard to be believe but so is a volcanic eruption pushed up the columns perfectly. Also these rock formations always appear where giants where said to live. All our real history is hidden from us. Devils tower is a def tree stump.😊.

@chrisscott6417 4 года назад

@@Hughsemailsearch it looks more like a construct to me, made by someone and not by nature or volcanic eruption. Perhaps it was part of a bridge to Ireland. Perhaps giants built it. Official history is a bs.

@robertperez2262 5 лет назад

Is it bad that I started humming the beginning of the overtire the minute I saw the cave? No? Okay.

@ClaireHaseltine325 5 лет назад

Where did this video originally come from/how do I find more like it?

@LouisianaGatorGirl 13 лет назад

Awesome! But what does the inside of the cave look like?

@melvincastillo2496 6 лет назад

60 million years. Cool story. Bullshit date

@melvincastillo2496 6 лет назад

Bert they just gave you a number and you roll with it. There's no evidence.

@melvincastillo2496 6 лет назад

Bert again. What evidence have they given you for the dates? What process was used? Other than making up a number. What was their start point?

@melvincastillo2496 6 лет назад

Bert yeah. That's what morons like you believe. An English accent making up numbers is facts😂😂fucking idiots. It. Must be facts. Its sounds like it

@melvincastillo2496 6 лет назад

Bert haaaaa. No evidence.. Believing fairy tales 😂😂😂

@melvincastillo2496 6 лет назад

Bert explain to me how in these millions if years this hasn't eroded from the ocean and winds. Common sense is all it takes. Don't be a sheep

There isn't a rusty walrus by that cave is there? Heheheh (crash bandicoot brought me here)

@brooklyn9398 3 года назад

How were the tunnels carved

@astrolight5708 8 лет назад

If I'm American and want to visit this place what are my rights in doing so are you allowed to go inside?

@guydecervens 8 лет назад

There is no problem at all getting inside Fingal's Cave. Take a boat cruise out there and you'll have plenty of time to inside and look at the columns. Don't worry about being American. It's the Sasanachs they hate in Scotland : )

@astrolight5708 8 лет назад

+guydecervens If I'm correct this is the Jules Verne cave right and how big is it and is there a restriction going inside even if you can go inside? I wonder if anyone has ever found the center of the earth xD in the book I believe there's a certain way to actually see it unless that's just the Brendan Fraser version.

@guydecervens 8 лет назад

@105588424741920009918 That's right Jules Verne used it as an inspiration for some of his work. The cave is about 60ft high and 200ft deep, although these dimensions vary depending on who measures it. You can walk inside but wear soft soled boots for the slippy rocks

@guydecervens 8 лет назад

+Nathaniel Bobo There is also a clip in the film Cremaster where the giant Fingal is filmed inside the cave ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AtjvyQqim50.html
