A thousands of nearly-perfect hexagonal igneous rock make up this amazing landmark of the National Trust.

A long time ago, Fionn mac Cumhaill, an Irish giant, wanted to fight his Scottish rival, Benandonner. Deciding to build a bridge to Scotland, Fionn strode across the sea to challenge the scot. Upon seeing the massive size of Benandonner, Fionn doubled-back across the bridge to hide at home.

His wife, being the more reasonable and clever one, dressed him in a blanket and laid him in a cradle. Benandonner, having chased Fionn across the causeway, arrived shortly after. He busted into Fionn's house, but immediately saw the body of the largest baby he'd ever seen. Thinking, "if this is the size of the baby... this dude must be huge!" -- the Scottish giant bolted out of the house and ran across the causeway, destroying the bridge behind him.
