How one kiss can make you eloquent.
Blarney castle is a popular tourist site in Ireland, attracting visitors from all over the world to kiss the famous Blarney Stone and tour the castle and its gardens. The Blarney Stone is a block of Carboniferous limestone built into the battlements of Blarney Castle. According to legend, kissing the stone endows the kisser with the gift of eloquence. The stone was set into a tower of the castle in 1446. (You can only kiss the stone in an acrobatic position.) 
Photo: not the castle, but "Blarney House", built on the same site in 1874.
