The giant's causeway
a bit less exciting. The actual history is that the rock formations were created by a lava flow
some 65 million years ago by molten basalt rising through a chalk bed, and then cooling and
cracking to form the tall columns that make up the causeway.
Legend:
Legend has it that the Finn McCool built the causeway to walk to Scotland to fight his
Scottish counterpart Benandonner. One version of the legend tells that Fionn fell asleep before
he got to Scotland. To protect Fionn, his wife Oonagh laid a blanket over him so he could
pretend that he was actually their baby son. In a variation, Fionn fled after seeing
Benandonner's great bulk, and asked his wife to disguise him as the baby.
