Tobermory is a colorful fishing port on the Island of Mull.  There is a legend that a Spanish galleon that had entered Tobermory harbor to escape the English fleet, blew up and sank.  There is a rumor that Clan MacLean was involved in the explosion.

Our walking trip was never dull
Of fine adventures, it was full
We drove down one-lane roads on Mull
To Tobermory
Seaside town with tern and gull
And a story.

Of the Armada, pride of Spain
Veterans of the Spanish Main
Storms and high winds were their bane
A man-o-war
Was blown up there by Clan MacLean
In days of yore.

Fingal’s cave on Staffa Island was an inspiration for Felix Mendellsohn’s Hebrides Overture.

On Staffa Island, there’s a vault
Of splendid columnar basalt
A nature-carved, without-a-fault,
Cathedral nave
An awesome sight for many a salt
Called Fingal’s Cave.

And when he came to Scotland’s west,
Young Mendellsohn, was quite impressed,
In music fine, the scene expressed,
An overture
To Hebrides, a region blessed
With great grandeur.
