Today the Giant's Causeway is one of Ireland's most popular attractions, with three-quarters of a million tourists each year from all over the world. This book takes the reader on an illustrated tour of this unique place. With a wealth of recent research into the landscape, history, folklore, wildlife and the underwater world, it includes walks and driving routes through the beautiful surrounding north Antrim coast.

Once upon a time there was a giant called Finn MacCool who built a bridge from the Antrim coast in the north of Ireland, all the way to Scotland, to fight the big Scottish giant, Benandonner. This interpretation, by Randall Stephen Hall, is just one of the many stories of Finn MacCool, popular in Ireland, in Scotland and throughout the rest of the Celtic world. Some see this story as a metaphor for all the positive cultural and linguistic links shared across the narrow stretch of water from Scotland to Ireland and beyond.
