One thing about that Blarney Stone though, you have to be fit and bendable and not afraid of heights. The actual stone is on the outside of the castle walls so a trusted someone has to hold your body down while you wriggle in unusual bends to get into position. I was in Blarney once and one look at the castle walls and the location of the stone was nope, not for me. But feel free to try – just remember that I warned you!
