The Legend of the Princess Giant

The King of Giants was
gravely warning his daughter, Iula. “You must never go over the sea, it is
dangerous, even for a giant.” Iula nodded in agreement and went to bed.
But the beautiful giantess
did not sleep and as the full moon rose, her spirit of adventure lifted
too. She crept down to the beach, where she gathered large rocks to use as
stepping stones. Then Iula gently placed them, one by one, in front of her
into the sea.
She went on, all through
the night until, exhausted, she reached the shores of a dark island. But,
in the soft sands of the shore, her footsteps sank and the sea washed over
her, claiming her for its own.
The island she discovered
took her name and, to this day, Islay is named in her honour.
