A certain Cormac McCarthy, called the Strong, a descendant of the ancient kings of Munster and builder of this castle, chanced one day to save an old woman from drowning.
In her gratitude, she offered Cormac a golden tongue, which would have the power to influence men and women, friends and foes, as he willed.
She told him to mount the battlement, kiss a certain stone in the wall five feet below the gallery running around the top.
He spoke her directions and obtained all the fluent persuasiveness she had promised.
And I suppose the story spread and the Blarney Stone has been a magnet to pilgrims ever since.
Yes, a pleasant legend.
Holmes.
