#StandingStoneSunday: `In a field near #DunollieCastle stands Clach a Choin, the “Dog Stone”. Legend has it that this was where the ancient heroic warrior of #Celtic #mythology #Fionn Mac Cumhaill (Fingal) would chain his massive dog #Bran. As it circled and struggled it wore a groove around the base of the stone with its colossal chain and they say you can still hear its ghostly howls.`
