Here's a site that explains it somewhat.

don't ever kiss the Blarney Stone, it's the duty of every worker there to piss all over it.

It's at the top of Blarney Castle and you have to lay on your back over the edge to kiss it. There's a pic of me doing that on my site.

And yes, they do say the locals piss on it. But, oh well...

Why does everyone think the locals piss all over it??? I kissed that thing years ago. I think that might be a myth, it's locked up at night and wedged during the day. Unless it's like some sort of local tradition.

i kinda pecked it. when i was there, it was a crowd (big surprise) and the guy pushed my head down, i banged my nose (ouch!) and then he threw me up so other could kiss it.

the coolest part is the area around the castle, though. and Cork rules!
