Summary
Cape Wrath as the home of giants.
George Campbell quotes from the notes of a lady traveller who saw the headland as the home of the giants, and talks about attempts to associate local features with giants and Valhalla. The Scandinavians were big and powerfully built, and were giants to the locals. Mention of a local find of a seven-foot skeleton.
