Look for this giant inside the Belfast International Airport, beside the entrance/exit to the arrivals section. Paid parking will be required for any visit to this airport.

According to legend, Finn McCool (also known as Fionn mac Cumhaill) created the Giant's Causeway which Finn could then use as stepping stones to get from Ireland to Scotland without getting his feet wet. The hexagonal columns in the statue represent the Giant's Causeway. Many visitors to the Giant's Causeway travel through the Belfast airport to get there.

Finn McCool has been greeting airport visitors since 2019 when Northern Ireland hosted the British Open golf tournament. Take care. Finn may swing his club.
