The remains of Knock Castle on the Isle of Skye. The image shows a view down onto a shorline with a rocky headland protruding into it from the left in the middle distance. On the highest point of the headland are stone ruins covered in vegetation. The sea is in the background with, beyond that, mountains on a far shoreline.
The remains of Knock Castle on the Isle of Skye, with the Sound of Sleat and Knoydart in the background. The castle was built in the early 1400s on a headland that had been fortified since the Iron Age. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...
