The word 'Blarney' has found its way into the English language and has beendescribed as pleasant talk, intended to deceive without offending. The battlementscrowning the castle keep are typically Irish in form. Below them is set in the wall the famous Stone and, to kiss it, one has to lean backwards (grasping an iron railing) from the parapet walk of the battlements."
