Blarney Castle is a medieval stronghold in Blarney, near Cork, Ireland. - stock photo
Blarney Castle was built by the MacCarthy of Muskerry dynasty and dates from 1446. Situated 8km from Cork City, this historic castle is most famous for its stone, which has the traditional power of conferring eloquence on all who kiss it. The stone is set in the wall below the battlements, and to kiss it one has to lean backwards (grasping an iron railing) from the parapet walk.
