Northern Ireland: Giant's Causeway

Is an area of over 40,000 interlocking hexagonal rocks as a result of an "ancient" volcanic eruption. There is a legend that surrounds Giant's Causeway. In short the story goes Fionn mac Cumhaill, (an Irish giant of course) built the causeway to get to Scotland to fight (a scotish giant of course) Benandonner, a much larger giant then he. But Fionn's wife disguised him as an infant and when Benandonner saw the "infant" he ran back to Scotland ripping up the causeway so Fionn could not follow (because apparently a full grown giant makes a large infant giant...right?)..yea...giants...anyways...its really pretty.

Um...you neglected to mention that the Giant's Causeway was, in fact, featured as the artwork on the FRONT cover of Houses of the Holy. Geez...
