What's the thing with flocks of people kissing the stone at the Castle in Blarney? heard a thousand legends...(give a different answer) .
The stone is believed to date back to the Crusades or it might have been brought from Scotland during the 12th century..the idea is that kissing it brings good luck in love, so herds of people climb the 127 stares of Blarney castle and contort themselves in unimaginable positions to kiss the stone. The word "blarney" was introduced in English by Elizabeth I, who was fed up with her husband's unfulfilled promises...
