What is recorded here
Knockamillie Castle stands as a medieval ruin in Argyll and Bute, its exact position known within ten metres though no public path leads to it. The site resists easy description because official records preserve only its category and coordinates, leaving human experience behind a closed door. That absence is not a flaw but a shape: the castle keeps its distance, waits for patience, and reveals itself only to someone willing to approach without certainty.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records 'knockamillie Castle' as Castle (medieval). 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.
