The Real Fingal’s Cave

#1
As many of you may know, Celtic Heroes is based on Celtic myths, legends and folklore (but not some of the recent additions to the game).
Fingal’s Cave is a real world location, on the now uninhabited Isle Of Staffa, in the Inner Hebrides (just off the western coast of Scotland).

The cave was a well-known wonder of the ancient Irish and Scottish Celtic people and was an important site in the legends. Known to the Celts as Uamh-Binn or “The Cave of Melody,” one Irish legend, in particular, explained the existence of the cave as well as that of the similar Giant’s Causeway in Ireland. As both are made of the same neat basalt columns, the legend holds that they were the end pieces of a bridge built by the Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill (a.k.a. Finn McCool), so he could make it to Scotland where he was to fight Benandonner, his gigantic rival.
Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.
