The legend of the Giants Causeway is one of the best know tales from Irish mythology. It stars a giant named Fionn Mac Cumhaill and it tells the story of his battle with a Scottish giant.
One day, Fionn was visited by a messenger from Scotland. The messenger had been sent by a Scottish giant who wanted to challenge the Irish giant to a fight.
Fionn agreed and he made his way to Scotland, using great chunks of land that now form the Giants Causeway. When Fionn reached Scotland, he saw his opponent in the distance.
The giant was huge. Fionn retreated to Ireland and came up with a cunning plan to terrify the Scottish giant. Read all about it in our guide to the Giant’s Causeway legend.
