  1. Fionn Mc Cool's Stone

    Share Share Post
    Fionn McCool was supposed to be a very famous man. There is a stone in Bulba in a place they call "Corr a Bheag" and it is said that Fionn McCool threw it at a dog from the top of Bulaba down to "Corr a Bheag".
    The stone to look at is about ten tons weight or more.
