The stone of Blarney is also known as the Stone of Eloquence, for those who kiss the stone are rumored to be blessed with the "gift of gab".
From there it was back east to the famous town of Blarney, home of the famous Blarney Stone, or Stone of Eloquence housed in historic Blarney Castle, and just a short drive to the bustling city of Cork.
The castle also boasts the famous Stone of Eloquence - kiss it and you turn into Stephen Fry or something.
