 The Giant (Risin) is the 71m stack further from the coast, and the witch (Kellingin) is the 68m pointed stack nearer land, standing with her legs apart.A legend tells how, once upon a time, the giants in Iceland were envious and decided that they wanted the Faroes.So the giant and the witch (his wife in some versions of the story) were sent down to the Faroe Islands to bring them back.
