Stone pillars are basalts formed by the rapid freezing of lava erupted by volcanoes 40-60 million years ago.
One version says that the giant causeway was built by Irish giant finn maccoul. On the coast of Scotland, the ungrateful Scottish giant crossed the ocean to challenge finn maccoul, boasting of his infinite strength and saying: I can kill you with one hand, but unfortunately I can't swim, so I must compete with you! Finn maccoul was very angry. He moved the pillars one by one to the bottom of the sea and built a stone road across the sea, so that the Scottish giants could compete. When the Scottish giant was halfway there and saw the huge figure of finn maccoul, he ran away in panic.
Another romantic statement is that finn maccoul, commander of the Irish King's army, has great power. There was a fight with a Scottish giant. He picked up a stone and threw it at his fleeing opponent. The stone fell into the sea, forming today's huge island. Later, he fell in love with the giant girl who lived in Inner hebrides.
