Blarney Stone

Five miles north west of the small city of Cork is the village of Blarney - its name being from the Irish An blarna meaning 'the plain'. Near the village, standing almost 90 feet in height, is the castle of Blarney. Built on a rock, above several caves, the tower originally had three storeys.

Blarney Castle

( famous for )

On the top storey, just below the battlements on the parapet, is the world famous Blarney Stone, Kissing the stone is difficult for some people. In past times, to kiss the Stone, people were hung by their heels over the edge of the parapet. One day a man broke from the grasp of his friends and went downward to certain death.

Since that time the stone has been kissed by another method. First, you sit with your back towards the stone and then someone sits upon your legs or firmly holds your feet. Next, leaning far back and downward into the abyss while grasping the iron rails, you lower yourself until your head is even with the stone to be kissed.
