Knockdow was the seat of the McGorrie Lamonts, the house is located in a 6,000 acre estate, and was built in 1817, and enlarged and remodeled by the last Lamont of Knockdow, Sir Norman Lamont. In 1893 the Clan Chief sold all the remaining clan lands excepting Knockdow and left for Australia. The current Clan Chief is a Priest in Australia.
