Product Description

Book Description
This book pays tribute to the remarkable Inner Hebridean island of Staffa. Its geological structure of basaltic columns, which includes Fingal's Cave, is famous around the world. As a former owner of Staffa the author is well equipped to describe not just the unique rock formations but also the natural history, the stream of illustrious visitors, and island's haunting atmosphere. He describes how people have managed to reach this rather inaccessible attraction throughout the two centuries since it's discovery.

5.0 out of 5 stars A magnificent preview or souvenir of a visit to Staffa, 13 Aug 2001
By Ann (Annandale, VA United States) - See all my reviews
Illustrated with a delightful assortment of sketches, photographs, prints, engravings, and historical paintings, this booklet provides the reader with an aesthetic experience rarely found in a guidebook. Its scope is wide, from information on the geological and natural history to practical matters of accessing the island. As an added treat, literary and musical references are cited which were the result of visits to Fingal's Cave - agreeably one of nature's wonders. I was especially excited to see information on the long discontinued King George V day-steamer which I took many decades ago; it was unable to stop at Fingal's Cave due to the swells. Recently, while on a pilgrimage to Iona, I was able to make this long awaited trip. Being able to read the the guide beforehand made the experience exceptionally meaningful and having it as a souvenir of my visit to the island makes it a treasure that I re-visit time and again. A quality presentation with an artistic flair. Recommended for anyone who anticipates a visit to Staffa or who would like specialized information on this unique site.
