It is the Dog Stone!

"The Dog Stone, in Gaelic ‘Clach-nan-con’, stands by the shore road between Corran Esplanade and Dunollie Castle. Tradition has it from Celtic Folk Lore that the Giant Finn, the Fingal of Macpherson’s “Ossian”, used to tie his celebrated dog Bran to the rock, the groove at the base being formed by the dog’s leash wearing into the stone."
