It lies on the east coast of Sleat, approximately five miles (8.0 km) north of Armadale on the Isle of Skye, south of Cnoc Uaine, on the eastern side of Knock Bay.
Currently the castle is in ruins; it consists of an old 15th century keep of which one part, a window, remains to some height with traces of later buildings.
Just before the entrance to the distillery car park (and opposite an HGV turning space), a track leads downhill towards Knock Bay.
Follow the track past the distillery warehouse and across a corrugated iron footbridge over the river.
The easiest approach to the castle is by following the trail upward after passing the farm building.
