Manjari Fadnnis Instagram – That’s the Ironing Stone, or The Giants Wishing Stone, at Kylemore Abby. They say if u stand with your back against the stone, make a wish & throw a small pebble over the stone 3 times, that wish will be granted… It’s supposed to be bad luck if u wish for money, but u can wish for love ❤️ So the legend goes like this …… 2 or Ireland’s best known mythological heroes, Cu Chulainn & Fionn McCool, described in local lore as giants who fought each other on the Connemara Mountain Tops, were hot tempered & didn’t see eye to eye… During one of their heated arguments Cu picked up a massive stone & threw it towards Fionn. It narrowly missed him & landed at an unusual angle at Kylemore Estate. The shape of the stone resembles a traditional iron used for ironing clothes. It’s locally known as the Ironing Stone or the Smoothing Iron. #kylemoreabbey #theironingstone #travel #forklore #ireland #clifden #solotravel #makeawish #goofy Kylemore Abbey, Connemara, Irelan
