El castillo está formado por una estructura del siglo XV y, aunque está en ruinas, aún se conservan algunas ventanas, algunas paredes altas y varias construcciones realizadas posteriormente. El castillo fue construido por el Clan MacLeod y más tarde, en el siglo XV, fue asaltado por el Clan MacDonald. El dueño del castillo ha ido cambiando entre los dos clanes a lo largo de los años. En 1596 fue reconstruido por el Clan MacDonald. En 1689 el castillo fue abandonado y comenzó su decaída. La mayoría de las piedras fueron usadas en los edificios colindantes. (es)
- Knock Castle, also known as Caisteal Chamuis (Castle Camus) is a former stronghold of the MacDonalds. It lies on the east coast of Sleat, approximately five miles (8.0 km) north of Armadale on the Isle of Skye, south of , on the eastern side of Knock Bay. Currently the castle is in ruins; it consists of an old 15th century keep of which one part, a window, remains to some height with traces of later buildings. The castle was constructed by the Clan MacLeod and later captured by the Clan MacDonald in the late 15th century. Ownership of the castle passed between the two clans several times. It was remodelled in 1596 by the MacDonalds. By 1689 the castle was abandoned and started to decay. Most of the stones were then used for nearby buildings. It is claimed by local ghostlore that the castle is haunted by a Green Lady or glaistig – a ghost associated with the fortunes of the family who occupy the castle. The ghost will appear happy if good news is to come; if there is bad news she will weep. The castle is also said to have had a gruagach, a spirit which is said to have a particular concern with caring for the livestock. (en)
