Knock Castle, Largs, Medieval castle in Largs, Scotland.

The rectangular stone structure features two distinct towers at opposite angles, with the northeast tower reaching a height of three meters.

Built in 1851 by the Steele family of boat builders, the castle was designed by J.T. Rochead in a Tudor revival style with castellated features.

The castle walls incorporate stones from 1603 and 1604, preserving elements of Scottish architectural heritage within its more recent construction.

The castle grounds contain both the main building and Knock Old Castle ruins, offering visitors multiple historical structures to examine in one location.

The castle parapet displays the initials and family crest of Robert Steele, the Greenock merchant who commissioned its construction.
