“On the sea shore about a quarter of a mile from the castle is a huge fragment of the rock called plum pudding stone which art or nature has formed into a gigantic pillar. Here it is said Fion or Fingal tied his dog Bran here also the celebrated Lord of the Isles tied up his dogs when he came upon a visit to the Lords of Lorn Hence it is called Clach nan Con ie the Dog’s Stone.” Memoirs of Sir Walter Scott, iv, 351
