Legend has it he [Finn McCool] built the Giant's Causeway as stepping-stones to Scotland, so as not to get his feet wet; he also once scooped up part of Ireland to fling it at a rival, but it missed and landed in the Irish Sea — the clump became the Isle of Man and the pebble became Rockall, the void became Lough Neagh. Fingal's Cave in Scotland is also named after him, and shares the feature of hexagonal basalt columns with the nearby Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland.

These magnificent columns are called Basalt Columns formed from volcanic activity.

| Finn lost one of his boots as he traveled across Ireland to Scotland!! |

| Legend has it that the columns that aren't so high are because Finn McCool stomped them down as he walked across the land. |
Amazing landscape!
After we got through looking at the causeway, we went back to the 'Inn' to wait for our bus, and I enjoyed a glass of wine, Jim a beer, and gorgeous scenery!
Now, time to head back to Bangor. It has been a long day starting at Galgorm Castle, then up to Giant's Causeway and now back to Bangor. This is about a 3 1/2 hour bus/train ride.
