Join Annie and Jenny on an adventure to one of the most iconic islands in all of Scotland: Fingal's Cave, or known in Gaelic as An Uaimh Bhinn. Jenny flexes her geology skills as she explains the complex deep time story of how this incredible island came to form on the earth through volcanic activity. We explore the massive mythology that connects Fingal's Cave to the Giant's Causeway in County Antrim and wonder at the legends of Fionn mac Cumhaill, sometimes anglicised as Finn MacCool. We cover the infamous lore of Fionn's feud with Scottish giant Benandonner, as well as a less-known love story alternative of how the astounding Giant's Causeway was formed. Was this incredible geologic feature formed by war, or love? Finally, Annie has dug up a strange little piece of local folklore about an infamous monster that is said to use Fingal's Cave for some pretty gruesome deeds. There is no other island quite like Staffa in all the world. Independently made in the Highlands, Stories of Scotland is gratefully funded through listener support on Patreon. www.patreon.com/storiesofscotland Thank you all so much for listening to Scotland's most popular history and folklore podcast.

The Giant's Causeway in County Antrim is a geological fact that triggered the tale of two giants, Finn MacCool and a rival across the sea in Scotland, Benandonner. The unusually-shaped columns of basalt rock were formed many millions of years ago in a river valley when the now island of Ireland was a part of a larger continental mass. A Kilcullen Diary production by Brian Byrne, in association with Irish Car+Travel Magazine.

Think of your most obscure, private, family chatter—some combination of baby-talk and nicknames and reiterations of the same concerns or jokes. It wouldn’t make sense to outsiders, but it makes a special kind of sense to you. It’s language that communicates in a highly local way, and not at all in other ways. And yet: everyone sort of knows how this language works. In Finnegans Wake, that private language converges, even, with broadly recognizable mythic language. We’re reading about a family—the patriarch HCE, the mother ALP, the sons Shem and Shaun, and daughter Issy—but they’re all associated with mythic figures: Aesop’s characters (the ant and grasshopper turn into the Shaun-like responsible Ondt and the Shem-like irresponsible Gracehoper), the HCE-like Humpty Dumpty, and, most Irishly, Finn MacCool. The Wake shows us how the super-local is also mythical, shared. Wittgenstein framed the idea of private language as follows: “The words of this language are to refer to what only the speaker can know—to his immediate private sensations. So another person cannot understand the language.” But in the Wake, the most inscrutably private language echoes beyond privacy. The cryptic HCE’s name at one point stands for Here Comes Everybody; characters flow into one another, mix together in their most private moments. Washerwomen gossiping about the private lives of ALP’s family are overcome by the river that is itself tied to ALP, swept up into the mystery rather than ejected from it. The document that supposedly might reveal ALP’s family truth is the “mamafesta,” a manifesto of the mama. Joyce mocks usual methods of interpretation, Freudian and Marxist, of this document. Efforts to interpret that private language create epic resonances, of Greek language and grandiosity, useful in a story about the epic dimensions of everyday characters. You can see some of that here: "that (probably local or personal) variant maggers for the more generally accepted majesty which is but a trifle and yet may quietly amuse: those superciliouslooking crisscrossed Greek ees awkwardlike perched there and here out of date like sick owls hawked back to Athens" The most majestic connection to HCE would be the mythic Finn MacCool, the Irish hero linked to the fallen Finnegan in lines like, “Macool, Macool, orra whyi deed ye diie?” In this episode, the scholar Katherine O’Callaghan describes how HCE’s fall and rise recall the fall of the ancient Irish hero, the fall of “a sort of Finn” and “the old myths of the Fionna, a warrior tribe in Ireland in the first and second centuries, with Finn the leader.” O’Callaghan tells us that in the Wake, we find “the fallen Finn, but the idea of course in Finnegans Wake is that Finn himself might be woken in some way and come back out of his burial site and rise again.” Learn more about your ad choices.

James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake doesn’t work like other novels. It has lines like: “What clashes here of wills gen wonts, oystrygods gaggin fishy-gods!” In some ways, this makes the book almost impossible to read. H.G. Wells told Joyce, “You have turned your back on common men — on their elementary needs … What is the result? Vast riddles.” The Wake doesn’t have to be difficult, though; you don’t have to read it as a collection of unsolvable riddles. In Finnegan and Friends, we don’t regard the Wake as something to decode completely. Instead, we find in the book a well of inspiration for endless exploration. When you accept that you can’t perfectly decipher this thing, you set yourself free to notice rather than solve, and you’ll start to notice a lot. You’ll notice, for one thing, that Finnegans Wake deals with basic, shared, elemental experiences—of dreams, of water, of private chitchat. And it does all this in its own dreamy, fluid language. As Samuel Beckett wrote, of Joyce and the Wake: “His writing is not about something. It is that something itself.” Finnegans Wake also consoles. It’s the book of death giving way to life, of a fall that generates rebirth. The story, as much as it has one, draws connections between figures associated with a fall: the central, disgraced character HCE; Humpty Dumpty; and Finnegan (from the Irish song “Finnegan’s Wake,” about a guy who falls, is presumed dead, then turns out to be fine). There’s nothing total about such falling in this book, no complete catastrophe. The fall leads us into something much weirder. Here’s a sample from the Wake itself: The fall (bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonner-ronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk!) of a once wallstrait oldparr is retaled early in bed and later on life down through all christian minstrelsy. The great fall of the offwall entailed at such short notice the pftjschute of Finnegan, erse solid man, that the humptyhillhead of humself prumptly sends an unquiring one well to the west in quest of his tumptytumtoes: and their upturnpikepointandplace is at the knock out in the park where oranges have been laid to rust upon the green since devlinsfirst loved livvy. In collapse and decline we find hints of rebirth to some ancient glory—the return of the ancient Irish heroism of Finn MacCool. (“Hohohoho, Mister Finn, you're going to be Mister Finnagain!”) So we’re reading a book of sadness that leads to joy, of hazy connections that exist beyond gloom, beyond logic, and sometimes just at the level of sound (between Finnegan and Finn, again), all of which intimates the promise of life that never never makes perfect sense. Notice, too, that the title of the Wake lacks an apostrophe. You can read the title as an encouraging command, urging all Finnegans, all of us fallen and struggling people, to wake up into free-floating consciousness within our routine, elemental experiences. Episodes of Finnegan and Friends will trace this waking through one elemental experience at a time—of water, of dreams, of language—and each will be accompanied by notes like this one, on Joyce’s novel and on a related, Joycean life adventure.

Había una vez. Había una vez un en las montañas de el condado de Antrim al norte de la isla de Irlanda un gigante llamad Finn Maccool. El gigante Finn no era un gigante como todos los demás Gigantes. Noo Noo. El gigante Finn Maccool era el más grande, fuerte y fiero gigante que había en toda Irlanda y dicen los que dicen que la voz de Finn Maccool era tan fuerte que cuando hablaba o gritaba su voz se podía oir a muchos kilómetros a la redonda. Finn se enorgullecía de su tamaño y de su fortaleza y siempre recorría los campos de Irlanda presumiendo de ante todos de sus poderío. Un día un mensajero llegó a la casa donde el gigante vivía con su esposa y le dijo que él era enviado desde escocia por el Gigante Benandoneer. El Gigante Benandoneer, el mas grande gigante de escocia, había oído de que Finn Maccool presumia de ser el más poderoso Gigante en existencia y lo quería retar a una lucha a fin de determinar quien era el más poderoso Gigante de las islas. Aunque Finn Maccool nunca había visto al gigante Benandoneer si sabia que este gigante tenía fama de ser el más fuerte y grande gigante de toda escocia y tocado en su orgullo por el reto acepto inmediatamente. El problema es que no podía llegar a escocia para enfrentar al Gigante Como es sabido la isla de Irlanda esta separada de la isla donde se aloja Escocia por el mar y se dice que desde el norte de Irlanda en días de sol brillante se puede ver La costa escocesa. Así que un día parado en la zona donde se podía ver escocia decidió construir un camino entre Irlanda y escocia cruzando el mar y así enfrentar al Gigante Benandoneer Se dice que el Gigante Finn Maccool comenzó a cortar con sus manos grandes pilares de roca de las de las costas de Antrim y arrojándolos al mar comenzó a llenar el paso de mar entre Irlanda y escocia. Cuando el Gigante escoces Benandoneer escucho que el Gigante Finn Maccool estaba construyendo un camino entre las olas del mar decidió el también ayudar a construir el camino y demostrar que el igualmente era capaz de tamaña hazaña. Construir un camino entre el mar. Y posesionado por el deseo de enfrentar a su rival irlandés comenzó a tirar enormes pilares de rocas al mar para así conectar con el camino que Finn Maccool estaba construyendo. Despues de varios días ambos caminos se fueron acercando el uno al otro hasta que un día se unieron y el gigante Finn Maccool furioso se preparo para cruzar el mar de Irlanda y así enfrentar al Gigante Benandoneer. Cuando esa mañana Finn Maccool llego a las costas de escocia por el camino creado vio como el gigante Benandoneeer estaba dormido en las costas y vio que REALMENTE era Gigante. Finn Maccool no podía creer en sus ojos. Ben andoneer no solamente era gigante era enormemente Gigante y su apariencia era feroz como nunca Finn Maccool había visto anteriormente. Y comprendió que aquel gigante podría destruirlo rápidamente. Temeroso de enfrentar a Benandonner el gigante Finn Maccool se dio media vuelta muy despacio y sin hacer ruido para que Benandonner no se despertara y lo viera y se dirigió de nuevo a Irlanda sobre el camino construido. Cuando llego a Irlanda comprendió que cuando el gigante Benandonner se despertara cruzaría aquel camino sobre las olas del mar e iría a buscarlo a su Irlanda natal. Llegando a su casa le conto a su mujer que había visto al gigante escoces y que temía que iba a venir a buscarlo. La mujer de Finn Maccool que era reconocida por su inteligencia decidió elaborar un plan para evitar que su marido fuera destruido por aquel gigante que vendría de Escocia. Cuando el sol estaba en lo mas alto, una sombra enorme se posó sobre la casa de el gigante Finn Maccool y una voz infinita grito fuera de la casa. Finn Maccool, sal d

A giant otherworldly monster that shoots fire from its mouth. The treacherous chief that killed his father. A super-smart fish dinner. These are just some of the things that Finn MacCool has to deal with as we wrap up the first part of his story and see how he comes to terms with his father's complicated legacy. The creature is the best at what it does, and what it does isn't very nice. Because it involves sneaking into your house at night and stalking you with its beady little insect eyes and razor-sharp claws. --- Sponsors: Tor Books: Check out "Shroud of Eternity" by Terry Goodkind, book two of the Nicci Chronicles wherever books are sold!

If I could have just re-named myself in grade school, it probably would have been Finn MacCool. I mean, yeah, that's only an English transcription and it's actually spelled Fionn mac Cumhaill and it doesn't really mean "Cool guy named Finn" but, loosely, "Fair one who is the son of Cumhaill" but, you know, details. Really, really stupid joking aside, today's story is awesome. It's parts tense human drama, revenge tale, and fantasy epic. It has young people trying to avenge their parents, giant monster fights, and, of course, a very smart fish. It's a two-parter, and it's been one of my favorite stories so far on this podcast. The creature this week is a fire monster who likes to play with his food. Unfortunately, that involves flinging flaming heads at grieving families. -- Check out our sponsor today: Credit Karma.

In county Antrim on the northeast coast of Northern Ireland is the giants causeway. What one Radio Times poll named the fourth greatest wonder of the United Kingdom. 40,000 interlocking basalt columns line the coast, the result of a volcanic eruption millions of years ago. Now it's one of the most popular tourist attractions in Northern Ireland. Find the complete Giant's Causeway shownotes here. The wind was pretty fierce as bus drove us the 1/2 mile from the visitors center to the Giants Causeway. We were excited. At first glance after exiting the bus, it was beautiful but disappointing. There were a bunch of people milling about on the rocks in a very small area. A big sign and guard halted people from climbing up further on this national wonder. Then I found a passage through the rocks that was overlooked by many of the visitors. On the other side, like crossing through the thin veil, we saw the true majesty of these rocks. Plus a long path along the coast where you could get a better view. When we got back to the visitors center, One of my Invaders told me about the singing rocks they found. That was all cool but what got me excited most about this trip was the legend behind it--Finn MacCool. Finn MacCool was a giant living on the north coast of Ireland. On a clear day you can see the island Staffa in Scotland. There lived a Scottish giant named Benandonner. They taunted one another from afar until finally Finn MacCool tossed long pillars of stone into the water all the way to Scotland, creating a long causeway between the countries. When Finn arrived, he was surprised to find that Benandonner was a lot bigger than Finn. He fled back home and told his wife Oonagh, who came up with a plan. She told Finn to dress like a baby and climb in a crib. When Benandonner knocked on their door Oonagh told him that Finn was out hunting. When Benandonner saw the size of the baby that belonged to Finn and compared it to the human sized Oonagh, he realized Finn must be even bigger than he. So he fled Ireland destroying the Causeway between the two countries. --- If you enjoy this episode, then please post a review on iTunes or your favorite podcatcher.
