^Hebrides Overture. Cool place, Javed. A good puzzle. I'll have to look up the overture. I really like Mendelssohn's piano music and have worked on a few of the Songs without Words in my spare time.

Fingal's Cave is correct! Yes, also correct about Mendelssohn. Well done, LazyScot.

Quote:

Fingal's Cave is a sea cave on the uninhabited island of Staffa, in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland.

Felix Mendelssohn visited in 1829 and wrote Die Hebriden (in English, Hebrides Overture Opus 26, commonly known as Fingal's Cave overture), inspired by the weird echoes in the cave. Mendelssohn's overture popularized the cave as a tourist destination. Other famous 19th-century visitors included author Jules Verne; poets William Wordsworth, John Keats, and Alfred, Lord Tennyson; and Romantic artist J. M. W. Turner, who painted "Staffa, Fingal's Cave" in 1832. Queen Victoria also made the trip. The playwright August Strindberg also set scenes from his play A Dream Play in a place called "Fingal's Grotto." Scots novelist Sir Walter Scott described Fingal's Cave as "one of the most extraordinary places I ever beheld. It exceeded, in my mind, every description I had heard of it… composed entirely of basaltic pillars as high as the roof of a cathedral, and running deep into the rock, eternally swept by a deep and swelling sea, and paved, as it were, with ruddy marble, [it] baffles all description."
