Staffa National Nature Reserve
The National Trust for Scotland cares for and protects the National Nature Reserve and treasured island of Staffa.
Staffa, off the west coast of Scotland looks like it may be from a different planet. Its hexagonal columns were formed millions of years ago by volcanic eruptions and a vast blanket of lava that spread into the Atlantic Ocean. Years of waves crashing against these columns created the magnificent Fingal’s Cave.
Staffa was hardly known until 1772, when the botanist Joseph Banks highlighted the wild, natural beauty of the island. It is home to black guillemots, fulmars, and puffins - all of which are monitored and cared for by the National Trust for Scotland. Designated a National Nature Reserve in 2001, this island needs our continued protection and care. Please donate today to help us protect this iconic and special island.

Thank you for allowing us to visit Staffa. I had trouble using the QR-code shown on the signs on the islandz The code led me to a general webpage of Easy Donate, not specific for Staffa or the Scotish National Trust.
Staffa and the puffins were absolutely amazing!
Fingals Cave is beautiful and money to help with upkeep is important and to keep it free for all.
I wish you to continue to preserve nature and wildlife
