Science, of course, holds the answers to most of these questions but in the days before scientists there were storytellers. Storytellers have their own explanation for this captivating stretch of the coast, and many stories endure to the present day. The most famous legend associated with the Giant’s Causeway is that of Irish giant Finn McCool.

The landscape became so imbued with the spirit of this legend that it gave rise to the name – the Giant’s Causeway. Continue to Belfast.
