Caisteal Chamuis (Knock Castle)
Is tucked away on the Sleat Peninsula, this 15th-century ruin overlooks the Sound of Sleat. Once held by the MacLeods and later the MacDonalds, it was a key stronghold in Skye's clan wars. Though now crumbling, the remains offer dramatic coastal views and a glimpse into Skye’s turbulent past. A short walk from Teangue brings you to this atmospheric site — perfect for history lovers and photographers alike.
