Knockan Crag (Scottish Gaelic: Creag a' Chnocain, "crag of the small hill") lies within the North West Highlands Geopark in the Assynt region of Scotland 21 kilometres (13 mi) north of Ullapool. During the nineteenth century Knockan Crag became the subject of much debate when geologists noted that the Moine schists at the top of the crag appeared to be older than the Cambrian and Ordovician rocks such as Durness limestone lower down. Disagreements over the processes that could have caused this to occur were referred to at the time as the "Highlands Controversy". The argument was primarily between Roderick Murchison and Archibald Geikie on the one hand and James Nicol and Charles Lapworth on the other.

Über einen Lehrpfad erreicht man mehrere erläuterte Punkte im Gelände. Die unbewohnte Lokalität befindet sich an der A835 im südlichen Teil der Region Assynt, einem Bezirk im Westen von Sutherland und etwa 20 Kilometer nördlich von Ullapool in Schottland. Der seit 2004 existierende Geopark ist 2000 km² groß. Er ist als unter Schutz gestellt und wird von der schottischen Naturschutzbehörde NatureScot (bis 2020 Scottish Natural Heritage) verwaltet.
