Good informative post , Thank you for sharing
Fingals cave, was supposed to be the cave of Merlin…Impressive photo, and no wonder..I met a woman who told me once that there were some people in England that Merlin would return to help people in need.
Interesting…I think there are plenty of Merlins today.
