caption: March 1950 : A group of visitors nervously wait their turn to kiss the Blarney Stone at Cork, Ireland. The Blarney Stone is a block of Carboniferous limestone built into the battlements of Blarney Castle, Blarney. According to legend, kissing the stone endows the kisser with the gift of the gab (great eloquence or skill at flattery). The stone was set into a tower of the castle in 1446. The castle is a popular tourist site in Ireland, attracting visitors from all over the world to kiss the stone.
