Giant’s Causeway: 10,000 rock damaging coins removed from landmark

Advertisements

The Giant’s Causeway is located in Country Antrim, and was formed by intense volcanic activity which forced molten rock up through cracks in the earth.

This lava flowed and then cooled, contracted and cracked, creating around eight-sided basalt columns.

These are also part of a famous legend about a giant called Finn McCool (Fionn mac Cumhaill in Irish).

It’s said that he built the causeway as a bridge to Scotland, in order to fight another giant who was taunting him.

According to a different legend, in another fight with a giant, Finn threw some earth which missed, landed in the sea, and became what we now know to be the Isle of Man.
