How did the mythic giant Finn MacCool get to Scotland?

Here, we have a story about two men and a 60-million-year-old causeway called Antrim’s Giant’s Causeway in Ulster, Ireland. The legendary story is about Finn MacCool who finally challenged his rival, a man who lived in Scotland to a proper fight. The name of Finn's foe was Benandonner. Finn decided he needed a causeway to get to his foe. He would use 40,000 enormous stepping stones to get across the sea to Scotland. He would not get his feet wet by cleverly using the stones.

But before the challenge was made, Finn would frequently taunt Benandonner. One day when Finn was really mad he picked up a clod of earth and hurled it across the sea at Benandonner. He did not hit his nemesis. The huge clod of earth landed in the middle of the Irish Sea making the Isle of Man. The depression that was made when the earth was removed later filled up with water to become Lough Neagh.

On the day that the two were to fight, Finn saw Benandonner and became afraid. He fled back home, with Benandonner hot on his trail. Next, based on a trick by Finn and an assumed fact by Benandonner, he fled home in terror, ripping up the causeway as he went so that he would not be followed by Finn.

The reason that the Giant’s Causeway now exists in north Antrim, with similar columns at Fingal’s Cave on the Scottish island of Staffa is based on the actions taken by both men (Finn and Benandonner) as highlighted in their story.
