Fingal's Cave is a famous sea cave 69 m deep and 20 m high, washed out of the rock by sea water, on the island of Staffa. The name connects the cave with the image of the legendary hero of Celtic antiquity Fingal (literally “white wanderer”). According to legend, he laid the so-called Giant's Causeway between Scotland and Ireland. In Gaelic the cave is called Uamh-Binn - an ancient name that can be translated as "cave of melody". Thanks to its dome-like arch, it has unique acoustics. The strangely transformed sounds of the surf reverberate throughout the entire interior of the cave, which gives it a resemblance to a gigantic cathedral not made by hands. 🧭 Fingal's Cave, Scotland, UK

The Island of Pigs is the most ordinary paradise island, where the main population is... pigs. Many tourists come here to see wild domestic pigs, which are not at all afraid of people and love to take water and sun treatments on the beach. The pigs are fed from passing boats, and if a boat gets close enough to the shore, the pigs may jump in themselves, begging for food! 🧭 Bahamas
