  1. The Giant's Lift

    Share Share Post
    One day Fionn Mac Cumhail was hunting up on Croagh-a-dreen mountain. He lifted three rocks and put them sitting on cogs on “top of each other. He left the track of his thumb on the rocks.
    This pile of rocks in known as the “Giant’s Life”. If you climb to the top you can see the houses in America.
