View of Knock Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

Jutting into Knock Bay, Knock Castle boasts a vantage position over the Sound of Sleat. The location has a long history of fortification right back to the iron age with a fort called Dun Thoravaig. The current Knock Castle, originally known as Caisteal Camus or Caisteal Uaine, has been abandoned since the early 17th century.
