We have all heard the legend of Finn McCool, but there are many lesser-known stories, myths and legends to do with the Names, People and Places along the Causeway Coast.
Mary Murphy the Portrush Giant (some say she was as much as 7’6” tall) and her unsuccessful suiter, the Hermit of Portcoon Cave.
Finn McCool's granny, a nightmare to say the least, and how she got turned to stone after crossing her giant grandson.
Half Hanged McNaughten; a colourful, local character - what a grizzly end he had!

In Port Na Boe, otherwise known as Bay of the Cow, view the Viking camp, in which we can still see where they built their shelter.
