Hill of Tara

The Irish Way students learn about the Stone of Destiny, which high kings used to test their royal validity... believers say the stone spoke a worthy king's name!

Tuesday morning, we departed for a day trip from Dublin.  The first stop was the Hill of Tara, a the location from which the high kings of Ireland ruled.  Many rituals and burials took place on the grounds, making it a significant place in Irish history.
