Travel Info
And if so, did you receive the gift of eloquence?

Travel Tips

Yes, I kissed it. It it quite disgusting actually to see all the tourists queue up to go and lie down and put their head backwards to kiss this wet, grey 麓stone麓, but when you麓re visiting Blarney Castle & clmbed up the stairs to reach it, why leave without doing it?

i was advised by the locals i became friends with not to kiss it. they get drunk and urinate on it. needless to say, i pretended for my photo.

The locals laugh at the tourists who actually BELIEVE that the locals urinate on the stone. The stone itself is at the top of a castle in a protected area. The only urine within a mile of the stone is in the bathroom near the gift shop.

i live in cork but i actually havent... ive known people who have though, im not sure it really works. they actually call it the gift of the gab.
id be willing to kiss any stone you would like for me to..
