Knockengorroch is a world music festival held annually among the Carsphairn hills in Kirkcudbrightshire Scotland. From its founding in 1998 until 2010 there were two annual festivals - the World Ceilidh, usually held around the end of May, and The Hairth, held in mid September. From 2011, only the World Ceilidh Festival was held, with licensing for around 3000 attendees.
