    BLARNEY CASTLE IRELAND
    About five miles N.W. of Cork, at the junc-
    tion of the rivers Blarney and Comane,
    stands Blarney Castle, the old fortress of
    the McCarthys. The castle was built about
    1446 by Cormac McCarthy, surnamed Laidir,
    on the foundations of an earlier building.
    It was an immensely strong fortress, its
    walls being eighteen feet thick in parts.
    Some authorities trace the origin of the
    term blarney to Cormac himself, who is said
    to have delayed the surrender of the castle
    by persuasion and promises. The famous
    song The Groves of Blarney, written about
    1798, embodies the well-known legend :-
    There is a stone there
    That whoever kisses,
    Oh, he never misses
    To grow eloquent.
    Tis he may clamber
    To a lady's chamber,
    Or become a member
    Of Parliament.
