What is the legend of Finn McCool?
There are many legends of Finn McCool, the most popular one being the one about the Giants Causeway. Finn McCool was an Irish giant that lived in the county of Antrim. One day he got into a fight with a giant from Scotland. Depending on who's telling the story, either Finn or the Scottish giant (Fingal?) built a bridge made of hexagon shaped rocks to connect Ireland and Scotland so they could fight each other. When Finn saw Fingal he realized he could not beat this bigger giant, so he decided to out smart him. He wrapped himself up in a blanket and lay down in a crib. When Fingal arrived at Finn's home he was told by Finn's wife that her husband was not home but he could wait for him to return shortly. Fingal stepped inside the cottage, took one look at the baby in the crib and said " if that is Finn's son laying in the crib Imagine how big the father is". Fingal decided to beat a hasty retreat back to Scotland tearing up the Giant's causeway as he went. The myth is an old tale that explains how "The Giant's Causeway" a rocky outcrop of the cost of Antrim near the town of Bushmill was created.
How where the causeways built?
How the Giant's Causeway was built is quite of a mystery. How the Giant's Causeway was built is a story equivalent to a legend story about a giant named Fionn mac Cumhaill. The story goes about a giant who wanted to fight another giant named Fionn mac Cumhaill, though Fionn realized that the other Giant had more great power then he had and he would lose the challenge. However, Fionn pretended to be a baby when the Giant visited his home and when Fionn pretended to be crying, the giant used his finger to make him be quiet. However, Fionn bit his finger and his finger came off. The Giant ran away and did not fight Fionn. Now, the Giant's Causeway is just a funny tale about the legend, but is not likely to be known true. But to the main topic, nobody knows how the Giant's Causeway was built. It will remain as a mystery forever...
What are facts about the giant's causeway?
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. The cracking produced interesting geometric designs, and although most of the columns are six-sided, others have between four and eight sides. The rapid cooling that took place is likely the result of the lava coming into contact with water. At the time of this monument's creation, Ireland lay near the equator, shifting northward with the movement of the tectonic plates. The causeway's 40,000 columns range in height, with the tallest around 36 feet high.The legends and myths purport that the causeway was built by an Irish giant named Finn McCool as a way to walk to Scotland in order to fight his Scottish nemesis, Bernandonner. The story goes that Finn fell asleep before he could cross to Scotland, and Bernandonner came across to Ireland looking for Finn. His wife, Oonaugh, upon seeing that the Scotsman was much larger than her husband, cleverly wrapped him up, and passed him off to Bernandonner as her baby. Upon seeing this enormous baby, the giant Scot, thinking that the father must indeed be a larger giant than he, went back to Scotland, tearing up the causeway as he went, to keep the giant Irishman from coming for him in Scotland. There are similar formations across the sea on the Scottish side.
