It is known for its shinty-playing family, the 'Ach' Macraes, who use the diminutive 'Ach' to distinguish themselves from other septs of Macraes in the area. Members of the family include Neil 'Ach' Macrae, his brother Johnny 'Ach' Macrae, who both played for Kinlochshiel Shinty Club,[2] and Neil's daughter, award-winning chef and author Fenella Renwick[3] [4]
The community lies just to the west of the A890 between Auchtertyre and Achnasheen, about NaNround=0.5NaNround=0.5 (as the crow flies) southwest of Stromeferry.
The only facilities within the community are a public phone box and the local Stromeferry & Achmore Village Hall mainly covering the Achmore, Stromeferry and Braeintra communities, which at the 2011 census only recorded 153 individuals. The community is served locally by the Stromeferry & Achmore Community Council.[5]
