  1. The Barnan Giant

    Share Share Post
    About two Hundred years ago there lived in Barnan a giant. This giant was a dreadful man and when was angered he could throw a stone a mile. One day he was hungry. He threw a stone about half a mile at an animal to kill it. It fell so hard that it stuck in the ground. The track of the giant's hands is still in the rock
