Talk:Fingal's Cave

message: BBC 1's "The Great British Summer" it was mentioned that the cave has extremely good acoustics and that many people go there to perform in order to experience the unique sound quality.  Is there anyone who could confirm that and perhaps provide a paragraph on it?  Have any famous bands performed there? Ammi 20:57, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

message: In reference to "Die Hebriden (in English, Fingal's Cave Opus 26)":
Doesn't "Die Hebriden" just translate to "The Hebrides"? It certainly doesn't translate to Opus 26.

replies: text: Good point. An over-zealous piping of the link to Hebrides Overture, have made it clar that Finger's cave is a common name for the piece. .. dave souza, talk 23:14, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The source http://www.showcaves.com/english/gb/caves/Fingals.html doesn't say anything about boats not being able to enter the cave. It does mention that "There are no trips to the cave from Oban or Iona." Maybe someone understood that and the subsequent sentence to mean that boats are unable or prohibited from entering the cave.

message: :The cave was "discovered" by 18th-century naturalist Sir Joseph Banks in 1772.
Why the scare quotes? If it was discovered by him, remove the quotes; if the cave was already known to any local residents then provide evidence of this earlier knowledge of the cave and re-word the above to remove the scare quotes. --<SPAN STYLE="font-family:monospace; color:#008800; background-color:#ffffcc; border:1px solid #ff4444;"> B.D.Mills </SPAN> (T, C) 06:04, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

message: The section describes the formation of the geological formation but not of the cave itself.  I've tried to find something on that but have failed so far.  The cave is unusual enough a description of how it was carved or shaped should be here.Dismalscholar (talk) 20:10, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
