Achiemore was a crofting community located on the Cape Wrath peninsula near the village of Durness in the Scottish county of Sutherland.

Access across the Kyle of Durness is by a small passenger ferry operating from Keoldale during the summer months.

[6][9][10] The school building stood until the early 1990s, when its roof blew off in strong winds, and its walls were taken down to strengthen the wooden bridge constructed by the Royal Marines in 1980 crossing the Daill River to the north west of Achiemore.

[9] A possible site of a promontory fort is located to the north-east of Achiemore on the shore of the Kyle of Durness where drystone and turf enclosures have been surveyed.

[11] A site at Eilean nan Caorach, around 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Daill is a more likely location of a promontory fort or monastery.
