On my first visit to Ireland last fall , I accomplished this . On the way to Blarney Castle , our guide tried to discourage us from climbing to the top of the five - story castle where the stone is located . However , I was not to be deterred . Entering the 15th cen tury castle , it was obvious that it was built as a fortress , not a tourist attraction . The walls are 18 feet thick the base , and the battlements at the top allowed the defenders to pour boiling water or tar on their visitors . To reach the stone , I had to scramble up 160 steps around a circular staircase . The steps were built too narrow idea for the ancient lords but a bad one for a great so only one attacker could advance up them at a time modern - day tourists , especially when we had to squeeze by folks heading down . A stone walkway runs around the top of the castle offering a panoramic view of the lush green countryside . I spent a few minutes enjoying the view until I spotted a sign : ' Blarney Stone ' . I headed over and observed the unusual goings - on . One does not just kiss the stone ; there is a ritual to follow . First I emptied my pockets . Then I lay on my back and with a guard holding my feet I bent backward down a shaft with only a grate separating me from a five - story fall- until I could smack the magic stone . Was it worth all those contortions ? I'm now one of a select group of several million or so who have a document certifying their eloquence.How did the author learn to kiss the Blarney Stone?A) He read the instructions.B) His tour guide taught him how.C)He watched other people kiss it.D)It was obvious.No one had to show him.​
