The molten lava led to the formation of the cave which has now become a source of inspiration for artists like Jules Verne, James MacPherson, Pink Floyd, and Lord Tennyson.<\/p><p>Felix Mendelssohn\u2019s \u201cHebrides Overture,\u201d also known as \u201cFingal\u2019s Cave,\u201d was directly inspired by his visit to this location.<\/p><p>Besides, it bears a striking resemblance to the Giant\u2019s Causeway in Ireland. It is said that the legendary hero Finn MacCool built a bridge from the Causeway to Fingal\u2019s Cave to fight his epic battles. The cave\u2019s name itself, \u201cFingal,\u201d is derived from \u201cFionnghall,\u201d meaning \u201cWhite Stranger,\u201d adding to the mystery.<\/p><p>You will have to book a ferry from Oban, Dervaig, Tobermory, Fionnphort, and Iona to reach the caves, only if the weather is calm.

The thin layer of water creates a seamless reflection of the sky, transforming the landscape into an unbelievable yet infinite-looking dreamscape.<\/p><p>Apart from breathtaking aesthetics, the place also holds vast reserves of lithium which play a crucial role in the future of sustainable energy. According to the US Geological Survey, the place has at least 50 to 70 per cent of the world\u2019s lithium reserves.<\/p><p>If you are lucky, you may even spot pink flamingos and rare species of hummingbirds hovering over the lake.
