Una leggenda racconta come, una volta, i giganti in Islanda fossero invidiosi e decisero di volere le Faroe. Così il gigante e la strega (sua moglie in alcune versioni della storia) furono inviati alle Isole Faroe per riportarli indietro. Raggiunsero la montagna più a nord-ovest Eiðiskollur, e il gigante rimase in mare mentre la strega si arrampicava sulla montagna con una corda pesante per legare insieme le isole in modo da poterle spingere sulla schiena del gigante. Tuttavia, quando ha attaccato la corda alla montagna e ha tirato, la parte settentrionale della montagna si è spaccata. Anche ulteriori tentativi non hanno avuto successo e hanno lottato per tutta la notte, ma la base della montagna era solida e non potevano spostarla. Se il sole splende su un gigante o una strega, si trasforma in pietra. Fu così che mentre continuavano a lottare non si accorsero del tempo che passava, e all'alba un raggio di sole interruppe i loro sforzi trasformandoli in pietra sul posto. Da allora sono rimasti lì, fissando con desiderio l'Islanda dall'altra parte dell'oceano.
