Some Copious Chatting!

For centuries, tourists and adventure-seekers have sought out the Blarney Stone in Ireland.

The stone, located at Blarney Castle near Cork, is shrouded in legend.

Myths suggest that anyone who kisses the stone will suddenly have the “gift of the gab,” or the ability to become a copious (see definition and hear pronunciation below) talker.

For all its intrigue and popularity, the origins of the stone have long been disputed.

For years, it was thought the mystical block of limestone came from Stonehenge in England or was sent over from Scotland in 1314 as a battle trophy.

Geologists at the University of Glasgow, however, have recently tested the stone and found it to be “100% Irish”!
