About Knockan

Knockan is a tiny Highland settlement on the A835 between Inverness and Ullapool, serving as a stopping point on one of Scotland's most dramatic drives through ancient mountain terrain. The village sits beside Knockan Crag National Nature Reserve, home to the famous Moine Thrust geological formation where younger rocks lie atop much older stone. With about 5 EV charging points nearby and Ullapool just 23km away, it's perfectly placed for exploring the northwest Highlands.
