About the Book

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: 8TAFFA. Among the cliffs of our sea-coast, the most remarkable are those of the island of Staffa. This island is remarkable for its columnar stone formations, and having its Scandinavian name from the resemblance of these columns to staffs or staves. It belongs to Argyleshire, being situated at the distance of from four to five miles from the west coast of Mull, and about seven north from Icolmkill. Its form is oblong and irregular, about one mile in length, and half a mile in breadth. ' The beauties of Stafia, ' says Macculloch, ' are all comprised in its coast; yet it is only in a small space toward the south and south-east that these are remarkable, as it is here that the columns occur; westward, the cliffs are generally low, rude, and without beauty; but in the north-oast quarter, there are five small caves, remarkable for the loud reports which they give when the sea breaks into them, resembling the distant discharges of heavy ordnance. The northernmost point is columnar, but it is nearly even with the water. The highest point of the great face is 112 feet from high-water mark. It becomes lower in proceeding towards the west; the greatest height above M'Kinnon's cave being 84 feet. The same takes place at the Clamshell cave, where the vertical cliffs disappear, and are replaced by an irregular declivity of a columnar structure, beneath which the landing-place is situated. The columns in this quarter are placed in the most irregular directions, being oblique, erect, horizontal, and sometimes curved; while they are also far less decided in their forms than the large vertical ones which constitute the great face. When they reach the grassy surface of the island, they gradually disappear; but are sometimes laid bare, so as to present the appearance of a geometrical pavement, .
