The *real* piece of the stone iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis -- THIS ONE! ;')

The reason for the change (from the dangling by their ankles) used to be given that they lost a few would-be kissers that way. :') Mono, anyone?

...Fogarty said that the part of the stone that came to Blarney was given to an Irish king, Cormac MacCarthy...

To which the King proclaimed: "I got a rock!"
And promptly changed his name to Cormac McCharlieBrown.

Did this almost three years ago and while it was a bit ridiculous, we had a blast. Climbing up and then BACK DOWN those narrow spiral staircases was quite a hair-raising experience.

The grounds were beautiful. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day! I’d go back and do it again in a second.
