Ireland-Near Blarney Castle

If you find yourself waiting in line at Blarney Castle and you just can't be bothered to wait to kiss a rock, walk around the castle grounds. You will find this tree and other really great scenery.

                                           “I gave the Blarney stone a number of kisses”

‘I climbed to the top of the castle and located the world-famous Blarney stone. It forms the upper stone of an opening in the wall. Two iron rods support it. It is about six feet from the top of the wall. The way the stone is kissed is to lie on your back and have two friends hold your arms and your ankles and push you downward and outward through the opening, so you can raise your head and kiss the stone. Many decide not to kiss the Blarney stone when they look down 120 feet to the ground. I had no trusted friend to hold my ankles, but I could not go back to Portland without kissing the Blarney stone. I found that by lying down, reaching up, and supporting my weight from both arms by holding to the iron rods I could swing out and kiss the stone. I succeeded and I gave the Blarney stone a number of kisses, so I could generously pass them on to my Portland friends who are not able to kiss the stone itself.’
