      This is rubbish, the castle is on private property, it is closed at night and there are security guards, when its open the stone has a guide beside it at all times.

      I wasn't drunk, someone told me that that was the pee in "emergency only" wall. I'm pretty sure he was the security guard. All hopped up on spirits. Good times had by all.

      Yes, I kissed it. Twice, in fact. With a hangover. (No change in bulls**t factor) I didn't realise you had to lean out so far! It was a beautiful day, no scaffolding, but there were two wedding parties in the castle grounds. (The couples would be married nearly 25 years by now...) Thank you for posting; your niece is a gas!

      So your saying , if I were to win a nice big lawsuit today, and people think im lucky for winning it. And i just start telling everyone I kissed some wall down the street . They will all suddenly belive ? Whaaaattt, or maybe, back in the day, they were easier to manipulate and make them belive in anything. And the dude made money because people believed so they came and pay to kiss the wall. Witch is a really good way to make money. And get his money back ( ; from building that castle , I say the man was super smart and people wanted to be like him, so he knew he can easily make then belive anything and make him more popular and rich.

      Why couldn't you have told me that BEFORE I kissed the stone? :) Actually, there's probably so much bacteria and germs on it, a little pee won't make a difference.

    I can't help thinking that the castle is going to come crashing down any minute. I would absolutely love to see the castle ... from a distance.

    just 1 word. PASS. and if I were to do such a disgusting act I had just knelt down an leaned in to do it. it looked like there were some Canadian's that were there. it looked like loonies in the tip plate. see, over here in Canada our mint thought it be better to replace the easy to fold n carry paper 1$ bill for coins. the strippers like it however. when have you ever seen someone trying to put a coin into a g. string. the guys on married with children would of had a meltdown.

    I’m sure someone pissed on that stone. Lol.

      The pissing on the Blarney Stone urban legend is just a myth. During the day, the stone is always watched. At night, the castle is closed so there's no way for the locals to get up here. The workers use a safe cleaning agent on the stone every day that kills 99% of any germs that are there.

      It was used to drop items on attackers underneath or dangle an enemy from.

    One of the worst tastes I have ever encountered. Everyone`s lipstick, saliva, etc.
