DiscoverTradition
From the mid 15th century Knock and the surrounding lands belonged to the MacLeans of Duart, having been
granted by King James IV of Scotland. Knock remained within the family for over 200 years. Around 1650 the
MacLeans granted a bond in favour of their kinsman, the Marquess of Argyll.
The Marquesses, and subsequent Dukes, of Argyll went on to own Knock House and it’s surrounding lands for almost
300 years. During this time Queen Victoria’s fourth daughter Princess Louise married John Marquess of Lorne, the
9th Duke of Argyll, who gifted his royal bride with the large Victorian extensions to the
house which lend it so much character to this day.
The property ended its history with the Argyll’s in 1924 when it was bought by Lord Massareene.
Now belonging to Benmore Estate Ltd, Knock House has special significance for its owners. One of the directors
enjoyed family visits to Knock House as a child and, following the unforgettable family holiday on the Isle of Mull, is
now delighted to offer the experience to guests.
