Giants Causeway

Legend has it that the giant Fionn Mac Cumhaill or Finn McCool built a causeway to Scotland but Scotland had its own giant, Benandonner.

 

Fionn challenged Benandonner to a fight but when Fionn saw the size of the Scottish giant coming across the causeway he realised that he would not win the fight. Thinking quick Fionn asked his wife to dress him up as a baby. When Benandonner came and saw the size of the baby he took fright thinking that if the baby was that big, he didn't want to meet the father.

 

Benandonner went back across the causeway smashing it, leaving whats left of the causeway on the north coast of Northern Ireland and on the Isle of Staffa in Scotland.
