Origin of Name

Part of Derrick Turbitt’s ‘Causeway’ series. The Giants Causeway is an array of an estimated 40,000 basalt columns located on the north coast of Northern Ireland. It is frequently referred to the ‘Eighth Wonder of the World’. Named in celebration of the Summer 2012 Olympic Torch coming to the Causeway coast.
