Fingal’s cave, Scotland
As a rule, caves are round in shape with round rocks but have you seen caves with symmetrical square caves? These caves are situated on the uninhabited islands of Staffa in Scotland. Except for researchers and scientists, people don’t usually visit these caves. The cave has a large entrance and is filled with seawater. One can look at the Photograph and admire the bounties of nature. The cave was formed by lava flows millions of years ago and was named after the hero of an epic poem by the Scottish poet James Macpherson. It is approximately 22 meters tall and 82 meters deep, with a large entrance that allows sunlight to filter through the water and reflect off the cave's walls, creating a mesmerizing effect. Fingal's Cave is known for its hexagonal basalt columns, which are similar to those found at the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. These columns were formed by the cooling and contraction of lava as it flowed into the sea.

And when I got there, the ticket machine couldn’t locate my e-ticket, and the ticket counter was dark and closed. So I wound up having…
