Knockinnon Castle is a ruined stone fortification located in Caithness, northern Scotland. The castle represents a modest defensive structure typical of medieval Scottish strongholds, constructed to command the local landscape. The site remains fragmentary, with limited upstanding masonry surviving to document its original form and defensive arrangements. Its precise dating and archaeological significance remain subjects for further study, though it belongs within the broader tradition of Scottish castle-building that developed from the medieval period onwards.
