According to tradition, why do people kiss Ireland's famous Blarney Stone?

one of the few questions where the majority vote is wrong

First time I ever heard that kissing the Blarney Stone gives the gift of eloquence and Persuaviness. I always heard that kissing the Blarney Stone brings Luck & Love.

Literally, as the locals will tell you, it gives you " the gift of the gab" Means you can say anything and get away with it !!

Tacobelle, I've submitted many questions that most have got wrong

I heard it was for Luck… also

Very surprised to see most choosing the wrong answer for this one. I assumed this was common knowledge...
