"What’s the story behind the 160 ft giant rock that sticks out of the ground? There is the scientific story, which is as simple as a long, long time ago, there was a landslide of epic proportions that left the pinnacle and the surrounding rocks standing in their beautiful formation.
But we want a better story than that right? Well, an old Norse legend tells the tale of a giant who lived right there, on Trotternish Ridge. When he passed away he was buried in that spot but the burial was a bit of a hack job and his thumb was left sticking out of the ground."
