INISFAIL

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 569 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
INISFAIL , a poetical name for Ireland. It is derived from Faul or Lia fail, the celebrated stone, identified in Irish legend with the stone on which the patriarch Jacob slept when he dreamed of the heavenly ladder. The Lia-fail was supposed to have been brought to Ireland by the Dedannans and set up at Tara as the " inauguration stone " of the Irish kings; it was subsequently removed to
Scone
  where it became the
coronation
  stone of the Scottish kings, until it was taken by James VI. of
Scotland
  to Westminster and placed under the
coronation
  chair in the Abbey, where it has since remained. Inisfail was thus the
island
  of the Fail, the
island
  whose monarchs were crowned at Tara on the sacred inauguration stone.
