What is recorded here
Knock Castle, Cottage stands in North Ayrshire, Scotland, recorded as an estate cottage without a clear period. The name suggests a lost castle or grand house, yet only a small cottage remains. Perhaps it served a larger estate that vanished, or perhaps the castle never existed at all. The contradiction gives the place its life: a small building carrying the weight of a name it may never have earned.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Knock Castle, Cottage as Estate Cottage (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
