In the timeless lochs and verdant woods of the Lorn region in Argyll, Scotland, there exists an ancient stone shrouded in mystery and folklore. Known simply as ‘the Dogs’ Stone’, its tale is as haunting as the misty landscapes it resides within. Legend carries that in days of old, centuries ago, the Dogs’ Stone was the resting place of two colossal dogs owned by Fingal, a legendary Gaelic hero. Fingal’s dogs, Bran and Sgeolan, were as fierce and noble as their master, renowned for their strength and courage. After many years serving faithfully alongside Fingal, the dogs met a tragic end at this very ground, during a fierce hunt. They were battling a mighty stag, who was driven to desperation in its final throes. In its panic, the stag hurled itself off a cliff, dragging the dogs with it to meet their shared fate below. The Dogs’ Stone marks the spot where these brave animals reportedly fell, a solemn monument to their fearless spirit. This tale continues to capture the hearts of locals and tourists alike, a symbol of the loyalty and courage of these mighty dogs. Whether the story bears truth or is merely a sweeping tale spun from Gaelic folklore, remains a mystery. The Dogs’ Stone stands silent, continuing to bring a sense of mystique and reverence to the beautiful, rugged landscape of Lorn.
