THE STORY BEHIND THE ART

The Blarney Stone is a block of limestone built into the battlements of Blarney Castle, Blarney, about 8 miles from Cork, Ireland. According to legend, kissing the stone endows the kisser with the gift of eloquence and persuasive flattery. The stone and its castle attract visitors worldwide, making it one of Ireland's most popular tourist attractions.
