What is recorded here

Knock Castle, Slipway stands in North Ayrshire as a twentieth-century building, its shape still defined by the practical demands of the water beside it. The stones may have guided heavy loads or hidden the labour of people whose names vanished before the castle received its own. Whatever it did, it did not decorate the coast; it served the coast, and the coast kept the result.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Knock Castle, Slipway as Building (20th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
