What is the Clan Macleod Connection to Knock Castle?

Knock Castle, also known as Caisteal Chamuis (Castle Camus), is a magnificent castle situated on the eastern coast of the Isle of Skye, overlooking the stunning Sound of Sleat. This strategically located castle was initially built in the 14th century by the powerful Clan MacLeod, who were the dominant force on the Isle of Skye and fierce rivals to the MacDonalds.

Over the years, ownership of the castle shifted multiple times between the two clans, reflecting the turbulent political landscape of the Scottish Highlands in the late medieval period. However, Knock Castle eventually fell under the control of the MacDonalds of Sleat branch, who occupied it for several centuries.

Despite being in ruins today, Knock Castle remains a testament to the rich history of the Isle of Skye and the enduring legacy of Clan MacLeod. The castle's strategic location allowed the clan to control the surrounding sea routes and protect their territory, highlighting their power and influence.

One fascinating story associated with Knock Castle revolves around the Green Lady or Glaistig, a ghost who appears happy if good news is to come, but weeps if there is bad news. The castle is also said to have had a gruagach, a spirit that cared for the livestock, adding to the castle's mystical atmosphere.

If you are considering a landscape photograph of the Isle of Skye that celebrates your connection to Clan Macleod, this print of Knock Castle provides a stunning immersive view that captures the textures, vivid colours and the spirit of this intriguing misty isle. Knock Castle remains an important symbol and is central to the story of Clan Macleod.
