Giants Causeway

The story of Giants Causeway is amusing, like many Irish tales. It shows how being clever is sometimes much more valuable than being "big and strong". Finn MacCool is said to be the hero who made the Causeway so that a taunting Scottish Giant could come battle him. But, after seeing the size of the giant and being so exhausted from building the pathway across the Channel he realized he needed to come up with a plan. He dressed up like a baby and waited for the giant. When the giant saw Finn's "son" he was terrified of how big he must be if his baby is that huge! So the giant ran back to Scotland destroying the causeway as he went. This story is so intriguing because there are hexagonal stones on the coast of Northern Ireland and directly across in Scotland. These stones look like they have been hand made and fitted together and draw in millions of tourists a year, making this legend unforgettable.
