Bus tour in the month of July and August,a Bus station called Parnell Place,offers narrated tours to Cork's major landmarks and buildings, including nearby Blarney. The much beloved myth that being held upside down and backward from the top of a very tall castle to kiss a rock would bring you a Clintonesque ability to talk up an entrancing storm is actually quite new, although the Blarney association with the gift of gab goes back a very long way. It is believed to have been Queen Elizabeth I who created it in the 16th century, in a fit of exasperation at the ability of the then-Lord Blarney to prattle on at great length without actually ever agreeing to what she wanted. The custom of kissing the stone, though, is less than a century old. Nobody knows quite why it started, but around here they've got a thousand possible tales, some involving witches, and others the Crusaders.
