Ancient Defender Of Ulster
Finn McCool was an Ulster tribal chieftan and commander of the King of Ireland's
warriors. He was renowned in
Ireland for his fighting ability and for his strength. What he could do is
limited only by one's imagination! It was said that Finn could pick thorns out
of his heels while running. And once during a fight with a Scottish giant, he
scooped up a huge clod of earth and flung it at his fleeing rival. The clod fell
into the sea and turned into the Isle of Man. The hole it left filled up with
water and became Lough Neagh, the largest lake in Ireland. All of these stories
about Finn, and many more too, are certified as true according to the highest
standards of Irish storytelling. For certain, he stands tall in the annals of
Irish myth and legend.
